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