A few days ago I went through my freezer to see what we need to use up soon and came across a whole bunch of blueberries which reminded me of the fun times last summer when my daughter and I went blueberry picking. I think we ended up with around 9 pounds and that’s not including the ones we ate while picking. 🙂
Anyway, I decided we needed to use some of those soon and what a better combination than blueberry-lemon. Recently a friend gave me a nice, new bundt cake form, so I got an idea to make a blueberry lemon bundt cake. It turned out really good, moist and not too sweet!
Blueberry-Lemon Bundt Cake
Ingredients:
- 250 g (8.8 oz) unsalted butter (softened)
- 350 g (12 oz)sugar
- 1 vanilla sugar (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)
- 1 tsp lemon extract
- 1 lemon (zest and juice)
- 4 eggs
- 300 g (10 oz or 2 1/3 cup) flour
- 3 tsp baking powder
- 200 g (7 oz) sour cream
- 500 g (about 1 lb) blueberries
Preparation:
- Slice butter into thin slices and place into a mixer bowl.
- Gradually add sugar and vanilla sugar and beat until fluffy.
- Now add lemon zest, lemon juice and extract and mix well.
- Start adding eggs, one at a time until well incorporated into batter.
5. Lower the mixing speed.
6. Combine flour and baking powder and start adding to batter alternating with heaping tablespoons of sour cream until all is used up.
7. Butter your bundt cake form.
8. Pour the batter into 3/4 of the form
9. Spread the blueberries on the top of batter. During baking they will sink into batter. (I used frozen blueberries)
10. Bake at 195 C or 385 F for about 1 hour or until middle sets and gets a nice golden brown color.
11. Cool completely before slicing and serving.
Enjoy! 🙂

Wow, this looks absolutely amazing! I bet the lemon and the blueberries go together spectacularly 😄
Thanks! It’s a match made in Heaven! 🙂
Did you thaw out the blueberries first or just put them into the cake still frozen?

PS I’ll be at HCH to visit my friend in April, the week after Easter.
Hi Bobbi! I kept the blueberries frozen.
Glad to hear you’re coming to visit again! 🙂
Gorgeous and delicious Sibella. Happy spring to you
Thank you Bobbi, Happy Spring to you too! 🙂
Nice images. Cute kid. Great re-design of your blog.
Thank you Darryll! 🙂
I love lemon and blueberries together, they were made for each other! A beautiful Bundt, but I have never seen you make anything that wasn’t absolutely gorgeous! Love the picture of your daughter, what a beautiful girl. 🙂
Aww thanks so much April! Have a wonderful Sunday! 😘
I want a piece (or two) with my cup of coffee right now! Looks amazing 🙂
A new thing(s) have happened with your blog, Sibella! And, a beautiful and delectable recipe to go with it too. 😛

Hello Fae,
Thanks! I wish I had more time to do more with my blog (also thought about turning it into self-hosted one), but it will just have to wait for a while.
I’m not sure if your posts have showed up in my reader because I have not been on here in a while, but I will make sure to check it out and sign up for email notifications.
Have a wonderful rest of the week! 🙂

Hi, Sibella. Just read your delicious idea for using up blueberries. It’s getting closer to time to pick all kinds of good fruit for eating and for the freezer. I, for example, have got to hurry up and use the rest of my frozen rhubarb before the new stalks are ready. Haven’t had blueberries in a while. Now you’ve got me craving them. Hope you had a good Easter.
Hi Kathleen,
Thanks! 🙂 Rhubarbs sounds good too and can be used in a variety of ways. Check out my Farina pudding with rhubarb compote, maybe you will like that. Have a wonderful rest of the week! 🙂

Be still my heart! Looks….oh so yummy!
