Ingredients
-
Cake
- 2 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, divided
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- Zest from 2 lemons
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 2 cups fresh blueberries plus additional blueberries or blackberries for decorating
-
Icing
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 10 to 12-cup bundt pan or use baking spray, set aside.
- Set aside 1 tablespoon of the flour. Place the remaining flour in a medium bowl. Add the baking powder, baking soda, and salt and whisk to combine, set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk the buttermilk, lemon zest, lemon juice and vanilla, set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat butter and granulated sugar together on medium high until pale and fluffy, about 4 minutes. With the mixer on low, add the eggs, one at a time, and mix well, scraping down the sides of the bowl between additions. Add the flour mixture in 3 additions alternating with the buttermilk and mix until just combined.
- In a small bowl, toss the blueberries with the reserved 1 tablespoon flour. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter using a rubber spatula.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 55 – 60 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the center comes out clean and the cake is golden brown. Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool for 10 minutes before carefully removing from the pan to cool completely.
- Meanwhile, while the cake is cooling, in a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and lemon juice until well combined and smooth. Add more powdered sugar or milk as needed to create a thick but pourable glaze.
- Place a sheet of parchment paper underneath the rack holding the cooled cake. Pour the glaze over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides.
- Decorate with blueberries and blackberries, if desired.
- Allow the glaze to set at room temperature for about 15 minutes before serving and enjoy
