When it comes to cakes, I absolutely love baking bundt cakes. Not only do they always turn out perfect, but you hardly need any decorating skills when it comes to making them. You can usually just top them with a simple glaze and they always look so beautiful.
Today’s bundt cake recipe is one of my favorite flavor combinations (and I think it’s safe to say, a lot of you love it too!) lemons + blueberries. This cake is so incredibly moist, lemony, and packed with a ton of beautiful fresh blueberries. It’s like summer in the form of a bundt cake.
If you can remember, I want you to leave the butter, eggs, and sour cream on your counter to come to room temperature for baking your lemon blueberry pound cake batter. <— yes, this bundt cake is essentially a rich, buttery pound cake lightened up a wee bit to pass as a blueberry sour cream bundt cake.
Room temp dairy will help you have the best cake!
