Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Cream butter with lemon zest and ¾ cup of the sugar until light and fluffy.
2. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Meanwhile, toss the blueberries with ¼ cup of flour, then whisk together the remaining flour, baking powder and salt.
3. Add the flour mixture to the batter a little at a time, alternating with the buttermilk. Fold in the blueberries.
4. Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with butter or coat with non-stick spray. Spread batter into pan. (The batter will be very thick) Sprinkle batter with 2 tablespoons of sugar.
