Moist Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cake

Storytime…

The other night my husband and I went grocery shopping. When we got home to put the food away, I realized I had an abnormal amount of frozen blueberries. I was like how the hell did this happen? Like seriously!

I had some lemons as well that I needed to use so my immediate thought was CAKE! I was online studying other recipes and then created my own. My favorite part of this lemon blueberry cake is the moist factor! I hate the word moist by the way. I digress lol. It was so yummy, lemony, and not too sweet. Give it a try and tag me on Instagram @jdelawcious with your creations!

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3 Sticks of Unsalted Butter (Room Temp) or 3/4 Cups
  • 2 Cups of Sugar
  • 1 Tsp of Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Tsp of Lemon Extract
  • 1/3 Cup of Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 3 Tbsp of Lemon Zest
  • 1/4 Cup of Canola Oil
  • 1 Cup of Vanilla Yogurt (Full Fat)
  • 1 Cup of Powdered Sugar
  • 3 Tsps of Lemon Juice
  • 1 Tsp of Lemon Extract
Method

The Cake:

  • Preheat the oven to 350F
  • In a small bowl add the blueberries (Fresh) and 1 tablespoon of flour. Mix until coated and set aside. If you're using frozen blueberries make this the last step.
  • In a large mixing bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Then whisk all the dry ingredients so they are well combined. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or a large mixing bowl using an electric mixer, beat the butter and sugar for about 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  • Mix in the eggs one a time until well combined.
  • Mix in the vanilla and lemon extract.
  • At low-speed mix in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and oil.
  • Alternating the dry ingredients in three additions with the yogurt, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients on low speed.
  • Scrape down sides with a spatula to make sure all ingredients are mixed.
  • Do not over mix the batter just until combined.
  • Add the blueberries and gently fold them into the batter with a spatula until just combined.
  • Spray a 10-inch bundt pan well with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Pour the batter into the bundt pan and spread evenly. (If you're using a silicone bundt pan use only a light coding of oil as it is already non-stick)
  • Bake cake at 350°F for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
  • If the toothpick isn't clean cook for another 5-10 minutes. (To prevent over-browning place a loose sheet of foil over the top of the cake pan and continue to cook).
  • Remove from the oven and cool in the pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes
  • Lastly, invert the cake onto the wire rack to finish cooling.

Glaze:

  • In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon extract until well combined and no lumps remain.
  • To thin out glaze use more lemon juice and to thicken use small amounts of powdered sugar for the consistency you like.
  • Pour or use a squeeze bottle to place glaze on the cake. Allow 10-15 minutes for the glaze to harden on the cake before cutting.

Use ground chicken and make a lighter gravy. This is a delicious and filling meal. I paired this Chicken Salisbury Steak with cauliflower rice and green beans. This recipe is so easy and fast to put together. You will have something yummy on the table in less than 30 minutes. Enough chat, let’s get cooking!  Continue Reading “Chicken Salisbury Steak”
