Please see the recipe card for full ingredient list and instructions
Unsalted butter and cream cheese: these both will need to be at room temperature, so they will mix together without lumps.
Citrus fruit: use either lemons, limes, or orange. For this particular recipe I made a lemon glaze, but any citrus fruit works here.
🔪 Instructions
- Pre heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, cream butter, cream cheese, and sugar for 5 minutes, or until smooth and creamy. Scrape the sides of the bowl periodically while mixing to ensure all ingredients are blended.
- Add the eggs, egg white, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
- Combine 2 tablespoons of the flour and the blueberries in a small bowl; toss well.
- In a medium bowl, combine the remaining flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the sugar mixture alternately with the yogurt, beginning and ending with dry ingredients.
- Fold in the blueberry mixture. Pour cake batter into a 10-inch bundt cake pan prepared pan. Using the back of a tablespoon, gently smooth the top of the cake to even it out.
- Bake at 350° for 1 hour, or until a cake tester inserted in center comes with just a few crumbs that cling and top is golden brown.
- Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes; remove from pan. Combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl. Drizzle over warm cake.
🥄 Equipment
Bundt pan: this is a tube pan that is circular and has a hole in the center of the pan.
Electric mixer: I highly recommend an electric mixer for best results. A stand mixer can also be used.
Large rubber scraper: for scraping down the sides of the pan and folding the blueberries into the batter.
🥫Storage
Room temperature: cake can be store in an airtight container on the counter top up to 4 days.
Freezer: store in an airtight freezer safe container up to 3 months.
📖 Variations
- Substitute frozen blueberries for the fresh blueberries, be sure they are not thawed out, use them frozen.
- Use lemon or almond extract in place of vanilla extract.
- Sour cream can be substituted for the greek yogurt
💭 Tips
- Place a piece of aluminum foil or parchment paper beneath the wire rack to catch any drips from the glaze.
- Flour does not need to be sifted; just stir with a spoon and lightly spoon flour into the measuring cup and level off the handle of the spoon. Don't tap cup, or pack flour.
- When mixing flour into the wet ingredients, be sure to mix on low speed to prevent flour from flying out of the bowl.
