Looking for the perfect dessert that’s both tangy and sweet? This Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cake is a showstopper—moist, buttery, and bursting with fresh lemon and blueberry flavors. With an easy-to-follow recipe and simple ingredients, it’s the ultimate treat for any occasion.
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:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease and flour a Bundt pan.
Prepare the Dry Ingredients:
In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
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.
Add the Eggs:
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Incorporate the Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry flour mixture in intervals, mixing until just combined.
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.
Fold in the Blueberries:
Gently fold in the coated blueberries, taking care not to crush them.
Assemble the Cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and spread it evenly.
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.
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:
Prepare the Icing:
In a bowl, combine the powdered sugar, lemon juice, salt, and zest.
Add the Melted Butter:
Slowly stir in the melted butter until the mixture is smooth and combined.
Cool the Icing:
Let the icing cool slightly until it reaches your desired consistency for pouring.
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.
