In a large mixing bowl, add all the dry ingredients. Whisk until well incorporated.

In another mixing bowl, add all the wet ingredients. Beat until well blended.

In a separate mixing bowl, add blueberries, lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons of flour. Toss until the berries are completely coated.

Fill each of the prepared cake pans with the batter and spread it evenly.

Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake the batter for half an hour.

For the Reduction:

Add 1/2 cup of the blueberries to the freezer.

Place a saucepan on the stove and turn the heat to medium-low. Add 1 tablespoon of water, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, and 1 cup of blueberries to the pan. Stir everything until well blended. Simmer the mixture for a few minutes until it reduces to almost half.

Strain the mixture into a mixing bowl and allow it to cool completely.

To Make the Lemon Buttercream:

Add butter and confectioners’ sugar into a mixing bowl, then beat until well incorporated.

Gradually add the lemon juice, then beat until well combined.
