Ingredients
  

For the Cake:

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

½ cup unsalted butter, softened

2 large eggs

½ cup buttermilk

Zest of 1 lemon

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish)

For the Cheesecake Layer:

8 oz cream cheese, softened

½ cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 teaspoon lemon zest

1 cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

    Make the Cake Batter: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Stir in lemon zest and lemon juice until just combined.

        Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the fresh blueberries to the batter, being careful not to break them apart.

          Bake the Cake: Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.

            Prepare the Cheesecake Layer: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until well combined. In another bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth.

              Layer the Cake: Once the cakes are completely cool, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread half of the cheesecake mixture over the top. Place the second cake layer on top and spread the remaining cheesecake mixture over the top and sides of the cake.

                Chill and Set: Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours, or until the cheesecake layer is set.

                  Serve and Garnish: Before serving, garnish with extra blueberries and lemon slices on top for an elegant touch.
