Blueberry Lemon Bundt Cake

I haven’t used my bundt cake pan for quite some time and as I had some buttermilk left, a fruit bundt cake seemed the best way to use it. A simple blueberry lemon bundt cake sounded perfect to me, I was craving for some for a couple of weeks.

This recipe is very easy to prepare, takes only few minutes until is ready for baking. I used frozen wild mountain blueberries, which are smaller in size and have a wonderful unique tangy taste and flavor, a bit different from the big sweet ones found on grocery stores. I had the luck to buy a lot of wild blueberries after they were picked on the mountain, and we froze them so we can enjoy their delicious flavor all the months after. Fresh blueberries will work good as well, no doubt about that.

This cake is amazing, soft with a lot of blueberries inside, lemon flavored, definitely one of the best cakes ever. I have always preferred chocolate desserts but this cake is as good as a chocolate one 🙂 You can make a lemon glaze topping though for me it seemed sweet enough and sprinkled only some powdered sugar on top. Feel free to try both toppings and see which one you like best.

  9. nabila Author says:

    This cake looks so delicious but I don’t have bundt cake pan.Can I make them as cupcakes instead?

    1. Ella-HomeCookingAdventure Author says:

      Sure.. they will work really well.. just check them out while baking as they will probably need less time to bake, probably 30-35 mins will be enough

  10. Sana Author says:

    Heyy. I’d love to try this recipe. But can I use fresh blueberries instead of frozen?

    1. Ella-HomeCookingAdventure Author says:

      Sure.. I think this was mentioned too, fresh blueberries will be as good if not better. The best part is that you can prepare this recipe all year round with either frozen or fresh blueberries.

  11. Shawna Gulmir Author says:

    hi Ella. I made this bundt cake today and it turned out amazing. My husband loved it. Next time i want to try to use a lemon glaze instead of just dusting it with the powdered sugar.
    Do i pour the glaze on top of the cake while the cake is hot?

    1. Ella-HomeCookingAdventure Author says:

      So glad you enjoyed this recipe.. I would add the glaze after it cools .. better results this way

  12. Tink Author says:

    I made this for a quilting bee yesterday and it was (a) very easy to make (b) a HUGE hit. Delicious. I’ll be making it again (and again).

    1. Ella-HomeCookingAdventure Author says:

    The cake looks wonderful and I’d love to attempt it, but can you please specify what flour you are using. Is it plain or self raising? Many thanks!

    1. Ella-HomeCookingAdventure Author says:

      I always use plain flour.. let me know if you try it out

  15. Jess Author says:

    I would love to try this! Can I use all-purpose flour?

  16. Jess Author says:

  18. Ellen Manalo Author says:

    Hi Ella! Blueberries are not readily available in my country (Philippines), what can i use instead? Thanks…

    1. Ella-HomeCookingAdventure Author says:

      Hi Ellen.

      You can use raspberries  or strawberries  instead of blueberries.

  19. Antoinette Author says:

    Hi, can I use yogurt instead of buttermilk???

    1. Ella-HomeCookingAdventure Author says:

      sure.. use 3/4 cup yogurt + 1/4 milk instead

  20. Husna Author says:

    Hey! I just made this cake and it turned out wonderful. However the lemon flavor did not quite cut through to the surface and the cake tasted a bit doughy, any thoughts why this may have happened?

  21. Maighread Author says:

    Looks delicious!
    What can I use to replace buttermilk? I dont find it where I live
    Thanks!

    1. Ella-HomeCookingAdventure Author says:

      you can always replace it with 3 parts plain yogurt and 1 part milk – here to replace 1 cup (240g) buttermilk use 3/4 cup (180g) yogurt +1/4 cup (60ml) milk 

  22. Carrie Author says:

    I made this today. My batter seemed quite thick and turned purple even though I folded the blueberries in lightly.
    Any suggestions?

  23. Kamila Author says:

    Hey,

    this recipe looks amazing! I just want to ask you one question… I don’t have a mixer. Is it possible to get the same result without it?

    Thank you
