    Granulated sugar

    Unsalted butter and cream cheese: these both will need to be at room temperature, so they will mix together without lumps.

    Large eggs

    Vanilla extract

    All-purpose flour

    Baking powder

    Baking soda

    Salt

    Fresh Blueberries

    Greek yogurt

    Citrus fruit: use either lemons, limes, or orange. For this particular recipe I made a lemon glaze, but any citrus fruit works here.

    Creamed butter, cream cheese, and sugar in a mixing bowl.
    Cream together fats and sugar.
    Pound cake batter before folding in blueberries.
    Alternately add flour mixture and yogurt.
    Flour dusted blueberries on top of cake batter.

    Just 4 easy steps to bake this delicious pound cake full of juicy sweet blueberries!

    🔪 Instructions

    1. Pre heat oven to 350 degrees F.
    2. 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.
    3. Add the eggs, egg white, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
    4. Combine 2 tablespoons of the flour and the blueberries in a small bowl; toss well.
    5. 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.
    6. 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.
    7. 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.
    8. 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.

    Mixing bowls

    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.

    Whole cake cooling on a wire rack.

    While cake is still warm, pour over top of the cake. Use aluminum foil or parchment paper to set beneath the wire rack to catch any drips from the icing.

    🥫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.
