Ingredients:

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice (from about 2 large lemons)
  • 2 tbsp lemon zest (from about 2 large lemons)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 cups fresh blueberries (tossed with 2 tbsp flour)
    (Note: If using frozen blueberries, skip the flour coating)

For the Icing:

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

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
    • Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
  2. Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
    • In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Cream the Butter and Sugar:
    • Beat the butter and sugar together on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes until creamy and light in texture.
  4. Add the Eggs:
    • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  5. Incorporate the Dry Ingredients:
    • Gradually add the dry flour mixture in intervals, mixing until just combined.
  6. Add the Wet Ingredients:
    • Stir in the lemon juice, zest, vanilla, and sour cream.
    • Use a spatula or wooden spoon to fold these ingredients into the batter.
  7. Fold in the Blueberries:
    • Gently fold in the coated blueberries, taking care not to crush them.
  8. Assemble the Cake:
    • Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and spread it evenly.
  9. Bake the Cake:
    • Bake for 60 minutes, then check for doneness.
    • If a toothpick or knife inserted into the center comes out wet, bake for an additional 10-15 minutes (note: if the top is browned but the center isn't fully baked, cover the top loosely with aluminum foil to avoid over-browning).
    • Some ovens may require longer baking times—check frequently after 60 minutes.
  10. Cool the Cake:
    • Once fully baked, allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.  

For the Icing:

  1. Prepare the Icing:
    • In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar, lemon juice, salt, and zest.
  2. Add the Melted Butter:
    • Slowly stir in the melted butter until the mixture is smooth and combined.
  3. Cool the Icing:
    • Let the icing cool slightly until it reaches your desired consistency for pouring.
  4. Drizzle and Set:
    • Drizzle the icing over the cooled cake and let it set.  

Notes:

  • Be mindful of the baking time, as some ovens may require more than the stated 60 minutes.
  • If you use frozen blueberries, skip the flour toss to prevent the berries from becoming too thick in the batter.
  • For a sweeter finish, you can double the icing if you like a thicker glaze.
