Bundt Cake Making Tips

Grease the pan properly and add flour

It is important to properly grease and flour the bundt pan to prevent the cake from sticking. Use a non-stick cooking spray or butter to grease

Use room temperature ingredients

Make sure the eggs, butter, and buttermilk are all at room temperature before starting the recipe. This will ensure that the ingredients mix well and make a smooth batter.

Gently fold in the blueberries

To prevent the blueberries from breaking up, use a rubber spatula to gently fold them into the batter. Don’t over mix the batter with the blueberries in there or you’ll break them up.

Lemon Blueberry Cake Variations

fruit

Change the blueberries and use chopped strawberries, raspberries or other fruit of choice. You will use the same amount of fruit as the blueberries.

Orange zest and juice

Use orange juice and orange zest instead of lemon juice. This will change the flavor but the citrus will still compliment the blueberries and create a burst of flavor.

nuts

Want to add a crunch? Consider adding some nuts such as almonds, diced pecans or walnuts. You can add ⅓ cup to ½ cup almonds to the bundt cake.
