Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add vanilla extract.
Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with milk. Mix until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the pans and bake for 22–25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Let cool completely.
For the blueberry filling, heat blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Once bubbling, stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook until thickened, then cool.
For the cream, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
To assemble, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of blueberry filling, then a layer of whipped cream.
Top with the second cake layer, and cover the top and sides with remaining whipped cream. Garnish as desired.
Chill the cake for at least 2 hours before serving for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

Ensure the cake layers are completely cooled before assembling to prevent the whipped cream from melting.
You can use fresh or frozen blueberries for the filling based on what is available.
Chill the assembled cake for at least 2 hours to enhance its texture and flavor.
Optional garnishes like fresh blueberries, lemon zest, or mint leaves can be used to add a fresh touch.
