Ingredients

  • cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • teaspoons lemon zest (2-3 lemons)
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon lemon paste (or 2 teaspoons lemon extract)
  • 2 cups frozen wild blueberries

Lemon Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Grease and flour a 9" bundt cake pan and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate large bowl, whisk together sour cream, sugar, eggs, lemon zest, oil, and lemon paste.
  • Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, stirring until combined. Fold in the blueberries very gently, then pour cake batter into the prepared bundt cake pan.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and lemon extract to make the glaze, adding a bit more lemon juice or powdered sugar if necessary to reach your desired consistency.
  • Once the cake is baked, remove from the oven and let the cake cool for about 5 minutes, then put a plate or serving dish on the top of the bundt cake pan and flip the cake onto the serving plate.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cake and let it cool completely before slicing. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and fresh blueberries. Enjoy!

Notes

Storing instructions: wrap in aluminum foil or place in a cake carrier with an airtight lid and store at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Freezing: wrap unglazed bundt cake with plastic wrap and then aluminum foil and store frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge or at room temperature overnight before glazing.
For the blueberries, you can also use fresh, or regular frozen blueberries, thawed on a paper towel.
