I love making Bundt cakes at home. They're perfect for snacking, having with coffee or tea, or sharing with friends. This super moist Blueberry Bundt Cake is delicious and only takes 20 minutes to prep.
I use this base recipe for most of my fruit Bundt cakes, just swapping out the blueberries for other fruits. My family adores it, and I'm sure yours will too. The recipe is a cinch to remember!
The cake itself is moist and tender, with a hint of lemon that complements the blueberries beautifully. The glaze on top adds just the right amount of sweetness and gives the cake a lovely finished look.
The blueberries make it feel almost healthy - at least that's what I tell myself!
Why You'll Love This Blueberry Bundt Cake Recipe

Tips
Toss the blueberries in a bit of flour before adding them to the batter. This helps prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.
Don't overmix the batter. Mix until the ingredients are just combined to ensure a tender cake.
Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before turning it out. This helps it hold its shape better.
The Ingredients
Blueberries
Fresh blueberries are the star of this cake. They add bursts of flavor and moisture throughout. If fresh aren't available, you can use frozen blueberries - just don't thaw them first.
Butter
Butter adds richness and flavor to the cake. Make sure it's at room temperature for easy mixing.
Sugar
Sugar sweetens the cake and helps create a tender crumb. I use regular granulated sugar in this recipe.
Lemon Zest
Lemon zest adds a bright, fresh flavor that complements the blueberries perfectly. Don't skip this ingredient - it really makes the cake special.
