  • ¼ cup milk (60 ml) 2% or whole milk preferred
  • ¼ cup lemon juice (60 ml) freshly squeezed

Instructions

Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cake

  • Preheat the oven to 325 F (160 C) degrees.
  • Grease and flour a non-stick large bundt pan or brush with pan release. Make sure to get into all the cavities of the bundt pan.
  • In a medium bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl beat the butter, sugar and lemon zest until fluffy. Beat in the oil and vanilla extract.
  • With the mixer on a low speed, beat in the eggs one at a time.
  • With the mixer still on a low speed, beat ⅓ of the flour mixture into the butter mixture. Then mix in the sour cream sour cream. Mix in about ⅓ more of the flour mixture. Beat in the milk, followed by the rest of the milk. Stop mixing as soon as the ingredients are combined.
  • Stir in the lemon juice with a large rubber spatula.
  • In a small to medium bowl, toss the blueberries with the 1 tablespoon of flour.
  • Gently fold the berries into the batter using a rubber spatula.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared bundt pan and gently smooth the top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean or with a few crumbs clingy to it.
  • Cool the cake in the bundt pan on a wire rack for about 30 minutes, then invert the cake onto the wire rack and continue cooling.

Lemon Glaze

  • Whisk together the powdered sugar and 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice. If the glaze is too thick, whisk in a little more lemon juice. If it's too thin, whisk in a little more powdered glaze.
  • Drizzle the glaze onto the cooled cake.

Notes

  1. Measuring Flour: Make sure to measure the flour very carefully - otherwise the cake can end up dry. Whisk it first, then spoon into a dry measuring cup and level off the top. Or use a scale for the most accurate measurement 2 ½ cups weighs 312.5 grams.
  2. Room Temperature Ingredients: The butter, eggs and sour cream should be room temperature before getting started. Take them out of the fridge about 30 minutes prior to baking.
  3. Lemons: You will need about 2 large lemons for both the cake and glaze, or 3-4 smaller lemons. 
  4. Fresh vs Frozen Berries: If using frozen berries, do not thaw them first.
  5. Storage: Store the cake covered at room temperature for up to 2-3 days, or in the fridge for up to 4 days. 
  6. Nutrition Information: Nutrition details are an estimate only and based on 1 slice with glaze, assuming that the cake is sliced into 12 equal pieces. You may be able to get up to 15 smaller pieces of cake.
