Moist Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cake

Desserts J. Delawcious

Storytime…

The other night my husband and I went grocery shopping. When we got home to put the food away, I realized I had an abnormal amount of frozen blueberries. I was like how the hell did this happen? Like seriously!

I had some lemons as well that I needed to use so my immediate thought was CAKE! I was online studying other recipes and then created my own. My favorite part of this lemon blueberry cake is the moist factor! I hate the word moist by the way. I digress lol. It was so yummy, lemony, and not too sweet. Give it a try and tag me on Instagram @jdelawcious with your creations!

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 Sticks of Unsalted Butter (Room Temp) or 3/4 Cups
  • 2 Cups of Sugar
  • 1 Tsp of Vanilla Extract

  • 1/3 Cup of Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 3 Tbsp of Lemon Zest
  • 1/4 Cup of Canola Oil
  • 1 Cup of Vanilla Yogurt (Full Fat)
  • 1 Cup of Powdered Sugar
  • 3 Tsps of Lemon Juice
  • 1 Tsp of Lemon Extract
Method

The Cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350F
  • In a small bowl add the blueberries (Fresh) and 1 tablespoon of flour. Mix until coated and set aside. If you're using frozen blueberries make this the last step.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Then whisk all the dry ingredients so they are well combined. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar for about 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Mix in the eggs one a time until well combined.
  • Mix in the vanilla and lemon extract.
  • At low-speed mix in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and oil.
  • Alternating the dry ingredients in three additions with the yogurt, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients on low speed.
  • Scrape down sides with a spatula to make sure all ingredients are mixed.
  • Do not over mix the batter just until combined.
  • Add the blueberries and gently fold them into the batter with a spatula until just combined.
  • Spray a 10-inch bundt pan well with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Pour the batter into the bundt pan and spread evenly. (If you're using a silicone bundt pan use only a light coding of oil as it is already non-stick)
  • Bake cake at 350°F for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
  • If the toothpick isn't clean cook for another 5-10 minutes. (To prevent over-browning place a loose sheet of foil over the top of the cake pan and continue to cook).
  • Remove from the oven and cool in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes
  • Lastly, invert the cake onto the wire rack to finish cooling.

Glaze:

  • In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon extract until well combined and no lumps remain.
  • To thin out glaze use more lemon juice and to thicken use small amounts of powdered sugar for the consistency you like.
  • Pour or use a squeeze bottle to place glaze on the cake. Allow 10-15 minutes for the glaze to harden on the cake before cutting.
