Blueberry Topping
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter the sides of a 9-inch round cake pan and set aside.
In a small saucepan add the butter, sugar, lemon zest, and lemon. Cook for about 2 minutes until the mixture starts to bubble.
Add in the blueberries and stir to combine.
Pour the blueberry mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Lemon Cake
In a medium-sized mixing bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt then set aside.
Beat together the butter and sugar in a stand mixer or with an electric hand mixer. Beat together until fluffy about 2 minutes.
Add in the eggs one at a time, followed by the lemon zest, vanilla, and lemon extract.
Add in the dry ingredients and continue to mix until combined.
Spread the batter on top of the blueberry mixture. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the cake is firm to the touch.
Let the cake rest for 10 minutes and then carefully flip it over on a plate. Serve with fresh whipped cream on top!
