Place all the dry ingredients including the sugar, flour, powder, soda, salt and lemon zest in Stand mixer.
Mix for about 20 seconds to incorporate it all together.
Cut up the butter into cubes. Add to the dry mix and mix until it resembles course sand.
Mix all the wet ingredients in a bowl and mix well so eggs are incorporated.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry mixer while on low. Mix it well for about 30-60 seconds so it's nice and smooth.
Take stand off mixer and gently fold in the berries. Be sure not to over mix so you don't break up the berries.
