Prep
- Preheat your oven to 335°F (170°C) and prepare three 7-inch cake pans with cooking spray and parchment paper.
Mixing
- Cream together unsalted butter and granulated sugar in a stand mixer on medium speed for about 2 minutes.
- Add eggs, sour cream, and vegetable oil to the butter-sugar mixture and mix until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together cake flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine the buttermilk, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a measuring cup. Alternate adding the dry mixture and buttermilk mixture to the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in fresh blueberries gently using a spatula.
Baking
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 15 minutes and then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Frosting
- Beat cream cheese and unsalted butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, salt, lemon juice, and zest, mixing until fluffy.
Assembly
- Layer frosting between each cake layer and spread around the outside. Chill for 30 minutes before garnishing with lemon slices and blueberries.

Notes
Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother batter. Avoid overmixing to ensure a light texture.
