Ingredients

  • Cake:
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (tossed in 1 tablespoon flour)
  • Lemon Glaze (optional):
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 23 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon milk (optional, for a creamier glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease and flour a bundt pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, then add lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  5. Alternate adding dry ingredients and sour cream, mixing just until combined.
  6. Toss blueberries in flour, then gently fold them into the batter.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, whisk together glaze ingredients and drizzle over the cake.

Notes

  • Tossing blueberries in flour helps keep them evenly distributed in the batter.
  • Try substituting other berries or using a mix for variation.
  • Add almond extract or swap sour cream for buttermilk for a tangy twist.
  • Store at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate up to 5 days.
  • Cake freezes well when wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and foil.
