Buttermilk Blueberry Breakfast Cake

I found this recipe via Pinterest - I cannot resist a breakfast cake. It's one of those things that makes me completely happy to get up in the morning and eat! This was such a good recipe - it had the buttermilk and blueberries and the ever-so-slight hint of lemon in it too.

What you need:
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temp
  • 2 tsp. lemon zest or more
  • 7/8 cup sugar

  • 2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
