Spring has arrived and I couldn’t be happier! I’m so looking forward to warm weather and fresh produce, like in this amazingly moist Blueberry Lemon Bundt Cake.
This lemony bundt cake is full of fresh blueberries and is perfect for your upcoming Easter celebration. Bake it the day before so you can focus on spending time with family (if you can wait that long before slicing it!).
I also use a simple lemon glaze that isn’t too overpowering and enhances the flavors in this cake perfectly.
This cake is sure to be a crowd-pleaser at your next gathering! It’s perfectly moist and lemony with the flavor and texture of fresh blueberries.
Enjoy!

I made this cake today for Easter dinner tomorrow. When unmolded it, all the blueberries sunk to the bottom, thus they are on the top of the cake! What did I do wrong?? The glaze will cover the berries somewhat but I hope some are inside the cake! Help!

Hi Mary Kay, Sorry for the delay in responding! Did you remember to toss your blueberries in flour before folding them into the batter? I forgot one time and they sunk to the bottom. The flour helps to distribute them more evenly throughout the cake! Hope you had a happy Easter.
