  • 1 tbsp 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 240 g 2 cups all-purpose flour – or use gluten-free flour.

  • 1/2 tsp 1/2 teaspoon salt

Time to Cook

Prep: 20 minutes | Cook: 50 minutes | Total: 1 hour 10 minutes | Difficulty: Easy | Make-Ahead: Yes, this cake can be made a day in advance.

Steps to Make It

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan to prevent sticking. This will help the cake release easily after baking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the mixture is pale and airy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract. The batter should be smooth and creamy at this point.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the sour cream. The batter will be thick and luscious.
  5. Gently fold in the lemon zest and fresh blueberries. Be careful not to overmix; you want those blueberries to stay whole for bursts of flavor.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While the cake cools, prepare the lemon glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle this over the cooled cake for a sweet and tangy finish.
  9. Slice and serve this delightful cake to your family and friends. They’ll love the moist texture and fresh flavors!

Make It Perfect

  • Make sure your butter is at room temperature for easy creaming.
  • Use fresh blueberries for the best flavor, but frozen can work in a pinch.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting.

Mix It Up

  • Add poppy seeds for a delightful crunch.
  • Try using lime zest instead of lemon for a different citrus flavor.

Perfect Partners

  • Serve with whipped cream for extra indulgence.
  • Pair with a cup of tea or coffee for a cozy afternoon treat.
