LEMON BLUEBERRY BUNDT CAKE

LEMON BLUEBERRY BUNDT CAKE

Can we talk about how much I love spring baking? Although most people think holiday baking is the best, I actually prefer this time of year. You know why? BERRIES!

Warning: Prepare to be bombarded by berry recipes over the next several months. I mean, look at this cake – can you blame me? Give me all the berries.


INGREDIENTS

CAKE:
2 1/2 cups plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour divided
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
Finely grated zest of 2 large lemons
3 large eggs at room temperature
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 cups fresh blueberries

CREAM CHEESE FROSTING:
4 ounces cream cheese at room temperature
3 tablespoons unsalted butter at room temperature
1 heaping cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice plus more, if needed

GARNISHES (OPTIONAL):
Blueberries, lemon zest and lemon slices

INSTRUCTIONS

CAKE:
Preheat oven to 350°F. In a medium bowl, whisk 2 1/2 cups flour, baking powder and salt and set aside.

Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, cream the butter, sugar and lemon zest until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes. With the mixer on a low speed, add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl between each addition. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to batter, beating until just combined. Add half of the buttermilk, another 1/3 of the flour mixture, the remaining buttermilk and remaining flour mixture, mixing between each addition and scraping the bowl as needed.

In a separate bowl, toss the blueberries with the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour. Gently fold the berries into the cake batter; the batter will be thick.

Thoroughly and generously grease a 10 cup bundt pan - do not skimp on this. Scoop the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55 to 60 minutes, rotating the cake halfway through the bake time. Begin checking it at 50 minutes, and bake until a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.

Set cake pan on a wire rack to cool for 30-40 minutes, until cool enough to handle. Carefully invert the cake onto a serving platter to continue cooling.

FROSTING:
Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar and lemon juice and beat until well combined. Add more powdered sugar or lemon juice if you need the frosting thicker or thinner.

Spread the frosting on top of the cooled cake and top with garnishes. I store this cake in the fridge and bring it to room temp before serving.
