- Combine 1 cup of whole milk with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice in a measuring cup, stir, and let sit for 5 minutes.
- In another bowl, cream together 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar and the zest of 2 lemons, then beat in ½ cup of unsalted butter until fluffy.
- Add ½ cup of vegetable oil, then mix in 3 large eggs one at a time, followed by 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Alternate adding the dry mixture and lemon milk mixture to the bowl, mixing until just combined.
- Coat 1 ½ cups of halved blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour and gently fold into the batter.
- Divide the batter among the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
