Best Blueberry Lemon Bundt Cake

Blueberry Bundt Cake

The past several weeks has been blueberry haven around here.  Blueberries and raspberries have been abundant at our local farms, and we’ve done [more than] our share of berry picking.

There are few things more pure and natural than sauntering through rows and rows of thriving berry bushes on a warm summer morning, harvesting to our hearts’ content.  And eating as you pluck.  It’s allowed.

Here’s just a snippet of what our glorious harvesting produced…

Fresh Blueberries

This is only a fraction of what we came home with.  We had a box load of blueberries, with plentiful raspberries mixed in for good measure.

The Littles devoured most of the fresh berries within the first couple of days.  I had to snatch up the berries you see here and save them for myself.  After all, the boys have to eat something other than berries in 24 hours.

Plus, I could not wait to throw some of these beauties into our weekend breakfast.  Yeah, a bundt cake equals breakfast for us.  It’s healthier than doughnuts or Pop Tarts.  Says my twisted reasoning.

Simple Ingredients

After all, this Blueberry Lemon Bundt Cake is happily loaded with fresh blueberries, lemons, and simple ingredients.

This cake comes together easily and is wonderful for breakfast, afternoon snack, or dessert.

The blueberries lend superior moistness to the texture, while the lemon is zingy, tangy, and just lemony.

Make it Ahead of Time

The best thing about this blueberry lemon bundt cake?  It’s even better the next day.

Perfect for non-morning persons like myself.  My preference is always to bake it up the afternoon/evening before, and serve it up with coffee or milk the next morning.

The glaze is zesty and lemony, seeping into the cake to provide an even moister crumb.  Make the glaze and give it a bit of time to soak in.  Then dig in.

Enjoy the bountiful season of fresh berries before they’re gone and gone.

Here’s to berry picking until there’s not a berry left.

Eating blueberries until your tummy hurts.

And making a cake that’s worthy of both breakfast and dessert.

Enjoy!

• 2 ¾ cups all purpose flour
• 1 ½ tsp baking powder
• ¼ tsp baking soda
• ¼ tsp table salt
