Description
A delightful Blueberry Lemon Bundt Cake featuring a moist lemon-flavored crumb studded with fresh blueberries and finished with a sweet buttery glaze. Perfect for gatherings or as a refreshing dessert with a balance of tart and sweet flavors.
Ingredients
Cake:
- 1 pint fresh blueberries, rinsed
- 1 box lemon cake mix
- 1 stick (½ cup) butter, melted
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
Glaze:
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the proper baking temperature before preparing the cake batter.
- Prepare Pan and Blueberries: Grease a bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking. Evenly scatter the rinsed fresh blueberries across the bottom of the pan to create a fruity layer in the cake.
- Make Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, melted butter, eggs, and milk. Mix until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
- Pour Batter: Pour the prepared batter evenly over the blueberries in the bundt pan, ensuring an even layer for consistent baking.
- Bake Cake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing to maintain its shape.
- Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth and glossy to create the glaze.
- Glaze Cake: Once the cake has cooled completely, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top to add a sweet finishing touch.
Notes
- Make sure the cake is completely cool before adding the glaze to prevent it from melting and becoming too runny.
- You can substitute frozen blueberries if fresh are unavailable, but be sure to thaw and drain them well before use to avoid excess moisture.
- This cake pairs well with a cup of tea or coffee for a refreshing treat.
- For a more intense lemon flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
