Blueberry Cake

I love this cake, It is sooo yummy. I found the recipe on Simply Recipes.

Ingredients:
1 cup all purpose flour plus 1 tsp of flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
4 oz (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla
2 large eggs
2 cups blueberries, rinsed and drained (if using frozen blueberries, thaw and drain first)
1 tsp lemon juice
powdered sugar for dusting

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly butter a 9-inch springform pan and dust with flour. Or use a 9 inch round cake pan, butter and dust with flour and line the bottom with parchment paper.
Combine 1 cup of flour with baking powder and salt and set aside.
Using a mixer, beat the butter on med-high speed for 2 minutes. Then add the sugar and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy, a couple minutes more. Add the eggs one at a time and beat until well blended. Reduce speed of the mixer to low and slowly add the flour mixture, beating until smooth. Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan.
Combine the berried with the remaining tsp of flour and lemon juice in a bowl. Spoon the berry mixture over the batter. bake on middle rack in oven for 1 hour at 350 or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes. transfer the cake to a platter, berry side up. Dust the cake with powdered sugar before serving.
