Notes
Light and fluffy: Make sure the wet ingredients are light and fluffy before adding in the flour.
Don't overmix: Once you added the blueberries and lemon flavors, make sure not to overmix the cake batter. Otherwise the cake might be dense and the color of the blueberries bleeds into the cake batter.
