Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 3/4 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup butter
  • 2 cup sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice about 2 large lemons
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest about 2 large lemons
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 3 cup blueberries mix with 2 tablespoons flour. NOTE: you can use frozen but skip mixing frozen berries with flour

Icing

  • 1 1/2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cups lemon juice
  • pinch salt
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease and flour a bundt pan.
  • Mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  • Beat the butter and sugar on medium-high for about 3 minutes.
  • Add your eggs 1 at a time, beating after each addition.
  • Continue beating adding a bit of the flour mixture to the egg mixture in intervals, a bit at a time.
  • Add the lemon juice, zest, vanilla, and sour cream. Gently stir these into the batter with a spatula or wooden spoon.
  • Gently fold in the blueberries.
  • Spread the batter into the prepared bundt pan. 
  • Bake for 60 minutes, check for doneness. If a knife in the center doesn't come back clean, put the cake back in for another 10-15 minutes. (note: if the top is brown but the center isn't cooked, cover the top with aluminum foil to keep from burning)---IMPORTANT, there have been several that when baking this said they needed an additional 20 minutes. Because that seems to be a very small percentage I don't want to change the baking time and risk the others having theirs overdone. Please be mindful that you may need to add baking time.

Icing

  • Beat the powdered sugar, lemon juice, salt, and zest together.
  • Slowly beat in the melted butter into the sugar and lemon combo. Beat until combined well.
  • Let cool a bit until the desired consistency for pouring.
  • Pour over your cake, let cool.

Notes

IMPORTANT, there have been several that when baking this said they needed an additional 20 minutes. Because that seems to be a very small percentage I don't want to change the baking time and risk the others having theirs overdone. Please be mindful that you may need to add baking time. Check the doneness of the cake with a toothpick. If it comes out wet...put it back into the oven regardless of how much time it has baked. 
Additional tips:
  1. Be sure your oven is preheated.
  2. Different pans hold varying amounts.
  3. Ovens truly run at different temps changing how a recipe bakes for one person versus another. An oven thermometer is a great tool!
