Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (320 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup (227 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ¾ cups (350 g) granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups (225 g) fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar (for glaze)
  • 23 tbsp fresh lemon juice (for glaze)
  • Pinch of salt (optional, for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-inch bundt pan with butter or non-stick spray and dust with flour. Set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Using a mixer, beat softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Mix in lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  6. Add the flour mixture in three parts, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with flour. Mix each addition just until combined.
  7. Gently fold in blueberries using a rubber spatula to avoid breaking them.
  8. Pour batter into prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, checking at 50 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool cake in pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth and pourable. Add a pinch of salt if desired.
  12. Once cake is cooled, drizzle glaze evenly over the top and let set for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Use room temperature butter and eggs for best texture. Be gentle when folding in blueberries to avoid bursting. Do not overmix batter to keep cake tender. If cake browns too quickly, tent with foil after 40 minutes. Adjust glaze consistency by adding more powdered sugar or lemon juice as needed.
