- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (do not peel, squeeze out excess moisture)
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (if frozen, do not thaw)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for coating blueberries)
- Optional: powdered sugar or lemon glaze for topping
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt cake pan.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, and eggs. Beat until light and fluffy.
- Add oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- Fold in the grated zucchini.
- Toss blueberries with 2 tablespoons of flour to prevent sinking, then gently fold them into the batter.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with lemon glaze before serving, if desired.
Notes
- Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best flavor.
- Do not skip tossing blueberries with flour to prevent them from sinking.
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
