Ingredients

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt cake pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Begin and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  6. Toss the blueberries with 1 tablespoon of flour to coat them. This will prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
  7. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter until evenly distributed.
  8. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
  9. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  10. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Add more milk if needed to achieve a pourable consistency.
  12. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake. Sprinkle with lemon zest, if desired.
  13. Serve and enjoy!
