Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (about 2 large lemons)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest (about 2 large lemons)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen; if using frozen, do not thaw)

For the Icing:

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
  4. Add Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with sour cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Mix until just combined.
  6. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries with a spatula to avoid breaking them.
  7. Pour Batter into Pan: Transfer the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth out the top.
  8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 60–65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Prepare the Icing

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, powdered sugar, lemon juice, salt, and lemon zest until smooth.
  2. Drizzle over the cooled bundt cake before serving.

Tips for Success

  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure that your butter, eggs, and sour cream are at room temperature for better mixing.
  • Blueberry Handling: If using frozen blueberries, add them directly into the batter without thawing to prevent discoloration.
  • Flavor Adjustment: Taste your batter before baking; if you desire more lemon flavor, add extra lemon zest or juice.

This Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cake is not only visually appealing but also bursting with flavor. The combination of tart lemons and sweet blueberries makes it an irresistible treat that will leave everyone wanting more! Enjoy your baking!
