Secrets to a Soft Blueberry Bundt Cake
The secret to a tender blueberry bundt cake recipe is not to overmix the batter. However, this goes for any type of bundt cake. Don’t overmix as this will toughen the cake. Only mix enough to create a soft crumb.
Materials needed

- blueberry – I like fresh blueberries, but frozen blueberries work just fine if they’re out of season.
- Cake Ingredients – All-purpose flour, baking powder and soda, butter, granulated sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, buttermilk, and lemon zest create a perfectly balanced and delicious vanilla cake base.
- Glaze Ingredients – Powdered sugar and lemon (zest and juice) create a delightfully sweet and tart glaze.
