It’s finally starting to feel like spring, and with that, I always want to make light and fruity desserts.

This is a fluffy, tasty treat! I hope you enjoy it!
What You’ll Need. . .
- unsalted butter
- granulated sugar
- eggs
- lemon juice + zest
- sour cream
- vanilla extract
- flour
- baking powder
- baking soda
- salt
- blueberries
- heavy cream
- milk
- powdered sugar
Make the cake
- In the bowl of you stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together with the paddle attachment. Add in the eggs and mix together. Add the lemon juice and lemon zest, as well as the vanilla extract, and mix in.
- Preheat your oven to 350F. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and soda, and salt. Sift it into the wet ingredients. The sifting step is important, as it makes everything fluffier, and doesn’t allow for any clumps.
- Toss the blueberries in the bowl with some flour, then fold into the batter with a silicon spatula. Pour the batter into a pre-buttered bundt pan, and tap and smooth it so no bubbles remain. Bake for 45-55 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean. Mine took 50 minutes. Let cool completely
Make the blueberry glaze
- Add blueberries, orange juice and heavy cream to your blender and blend until combined and smooth.
- Melt your butter in a microwave safe bowl. Add the cooled butter and milk and heavy cream to the glaze and mix together.
- Transfer to a bowl and whisk in the powdered sugar to desired consistency. Strain to remove any clumps. Drizzle over cake and let set, then slice and enjoy!

Instructions
Cake
- In the bowl of you stand mixer, beat the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together with the paddle attachment. Add in the eggs and mix together. Add the lemon juice and lemon zest of the whole lemon, as well as the vanilla extract, and mix in.
- Preheat your oven to 350F. In a separate, large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and soda, and salt. Sift it into the wet ingredients. Add the blueberries to the dry ingredient bowl and toss with some flour (1-2 tsp) until lightly coated, then fold into the batter with a silicon spatula.
- Pour the batter into a pre-buttered bundt pan, and tap and smooth it so no bubbles remain. Bake for 45-55 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. (Mine took 50 minutes.) Let cool completely.
Glaze
- Add ¼ cup blueberries, fresh squeezed orange juice and heavy cream to your blender and blend until combined and smooth.
- Melt your butter in a microwave safe bowl. Allow to cool a few minutes. Add the cooled butter and milk and heavy cream to the glaze and mix together.
- Transfer to a bowl and whisk in the powdered sugar to desired consistency (More sugar = thicker, up to 2 cups). Strain to remove any clumps. Drizzle over cake and let set, then slice and enjoy!
Notes
- Make sure to strain your dry ingredients into the wet ingredients of your cake batter. It helps with the texture of the cake!
