Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries (tossed with 1 tablespoon flour)
For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour a 10–12 cup Bundt pan.
- Prepare dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
- Add dry ingredients: Add the flour mixture in thirds, alternating with the sour cream, beginning and ending with flour. Mix just until combined.
- Fold in blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries tossed in flour to prevent sinking.
- Bake: 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.
- Cool and glaze: Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake before serving.
Notes
- If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw before folding into the batter.
- This cake keeps well at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days.
