Description
A moist, tender bundt cake bursting with fresh blueberries and a hint of lemon zest—perfect for a delightful breakfast or brunch treat.
Ingredients
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup brown sugar, packed
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 cup sour cream
1 ½ cups fresh blueberries
Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan thoroughly.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with the granulated sugar and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.
- Alternately add the dry ingredients and sour cream to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in the fresh blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving if desired.
Notes
Coat blueberries with flour before folding in to prevent sinking.
Can substitute blueberries with other fresh berries like raspberries or blackberries.
For a dairy-free version, substitute sour cream with coconut yogurt.
Add chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for crunch.
Drizzle with lemon glaze for extra citrus flavor.
Store wrapped at room temperature up to 2 days, refrigerated up to 5 days, or frozen up to 2 months.
