How to make Blueberry Lemon Bundt Cake

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan with baking spray.
2. Prepare the sugar mixture: In a large mixing bowl, rub the lemon zest into the sugar until fragrant.
3. Mix wet ingredients: Add canola oil, eggs, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the sugar mixture. Beat until well combined.
4. Combine dry ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
5. Incorporate dry into wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
6. Fold in blueberries and mint: Gently fold in the blueberries and chopped mint, being careful not to overmix.
7. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving Suggestions

Serve this blueberry bundt cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. A drizzle of lemon glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice can add an extra layer of flavour and looks gorgeous. Alternatively, a dusting of powdered sugar also makes a beautiful presentation.

Tips for the Perfect Bundt Cake

• Use room temperature ingredients: This ensures a smooth batter and even baking.
• Don’t overmix: Overmixing can lead to a dense cake. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
• Coat blueberries with flour: Toss blueberries in a bit of flour before folding them into the batter to prevent them from sinking.
