Ingredients
- 2 ¾ cups all purpose flour
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp table salt
- 1 cup butter softened just to room temp
- 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs room temp
- 4 TB lemon juice freshly squeezed
- lemon zest from two lemons
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 ½ cups fresh blueberries towel-dried, gently tossed with 1 TB flour
For the Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 TB lemon juice freshly squeezed
- lemon zest from one lemon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F, with rack on lower middle position. Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan. Set aside.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and table salt until well combined.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugar 3-4 minutes or until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs one at a time, beating well after each one. Add lemon juice, zest, and vanilla extract, beating just until combined. Add buttermilk and beat until just combined.
- Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the flour mixture into the butter mixture just until incorporated - do not overmix. Gently fold in blueberries. Pour into prepared pan.
- Bake 45-50 minutes or just until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out almost clean. A few tender crumbs attached is perfect.
- Cool on wire rack for 20 minutes. Run a thin and sharp knife around all edges to loosen cake. Turn out and cool completely.
- To make the glaze, mix together all glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over cake and allow it to seep into cake.

- Fresh blueberries work best in this Lemon Blueberry Bundt cake – they hold their shape and add a burst of juicy sweetness.
- Gently tossing the blueberries with a tablespoon of flour helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
- When adding the buttermilk and dry ingredients to the batter, be careful not to overmix. This can result in a tougher cake.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 20 minutes before removing. This helps the cake maintain its shape and moisture.
- When making the glaze, start with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice and add more as needed for a thinner consistency.
- Drizzle the glaze over the completely cooled cake for the best presentation.
- Store leftovers airtight at moderate room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Cake can be frozen in an airtight container for up to a month.
