Serves: 16
Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter
  • 1¾ cups granulated sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2¾ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • Frosting
  • 8 ounces full-fat block-style cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup butter, softened
  • 1½ tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1-2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
  • 3 cups powdered sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a bundt pan by greasing and flouring it. Set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar for 2 to 3 minutes until fluffy.
  3. Beat in eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Add lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla and beat until combined.
  5. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
  6. Beat in flour mixture in three additions, alternating with buttermilk. Beat for 2 minutes.
  7. Put ⅓ of the cake batter in the bottom of the bundt pan. (The batter will be thick. You will most likely need to spoon it in.) Next, sprinkle with ⅓ cup of the blueberries. Put another ⅓ of cake batter on top of that and, again, sprinkle with ⅓ cup of blueberries. Finish by putting remaining cake batter on top and sprinkling with remaining blueberries. Using a butter knife or spoon, push blueberries down into the cake batter a little bit.
  8. Bake at 350 degrees for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out of center clean.
  9. Let cake cool completely.
  10. When the cake is completely cooled, run a butter knife around the edges and gently shake cake back and forth to loosen it before inverting it onto a cake stand or plate for frosting.
  11. Frost with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting.
  12. Frosting Directions:
  13. In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, softened butter, lemon juice, lemon zest, and powdered sugar. Beat with a hand mixer or in a stand mixer, adding whipping cream as necessary until desired fluffiness.
  14. Frost completely cooled cake and enjoy.
  15. The cake can be kept covered on the counter for 3-4 days or covered in the fridge for up to a week.
