Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cake is a moist, buttery cake bursting with fresh blueberries and
bright citrus flavors. Topped with a tangy lemon glaze, this cake is perfect for brunch, tea
time, or dessert. Its tender crumb and refreshing taste make it a crowd-pleaser, whether
for a special occasion or just because!

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Batter
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt pan.
  • In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In a separate large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy
    (about 2-3 minutes).
  • Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the lemon zest, lemon juice, and
    vanilla extract.
  • Mix in sour cream until well combined.
  1. Add the Dry Ingredients & Blueberries
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until
    combined.
  • Toss blueberries in 1 tablespoon of flour (to prevent sinking) and gently fold them
    into the batter.
  1. Bake the Cake
  • Pour batter into the prepared Bundt pan and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool
    completely.
  1. Make the Lemon Glaze
  • Whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
  • Drizzle over the cooled cake and sprinkle with extra lemon zest if desired.

FAQs:

  1. Can I use frozen blueberries?
    Yes! Do not thaw them before adding to the batter to prevent bleeding.
  2. Can I make this cake ahead of time?
    Absolutely! Store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or
    refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  3. Can I freeze this cake?
    Yes! Wrap the cake tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature
    before serving.
  4. What can I substitute for sour cream?
    Greek yogurt or buttermilk work well as substitutes.
