Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cake

Ingredients

For the Cake:

  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest from about 1 lemon
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries tossed in a little flour to prevent sinking

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons water
  • Extra lemon zest for garnish optional

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan to make sure your cake comes out smoothly, because nothing’s more heartbreaking than half your cake sticking to the pan.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat the softened butter and brown sugar together until light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). This step helps create that soft, airy texture we all love.
  • Mix in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest, the kitchen is going to start smelling amazing at this point!
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the Greek yogurt. Start and end with the flour mixture, and mix just until combined, overmixing can lead to a tough cake, and nobody wants that.
  • Before adding the blueberries, toss them in a little flour. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake. Gently fold them into the batter.
  • Pour the batter into your prepared bundt pan and smooth out the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack.
  • While the cake cools, whisk together the powdered sugar and water until smooth. The glaze should be thick but still drizzle-able.
  • Once the cake has completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top and sprinkle on some extra lemon zest if you’re feeling fancy. Then, slice yourself a piece and enjoy every bite!
