Zesty Lemon-Blueberry Cake
It’s much easier than you think. You can whip one up in no time. With a cake mix, pudding mix and fresh blueberries, mix instant pudding, eggs, oil, and water following the cake mix directions.
In a plastic bag combine 1/4 cup of cake mix and 2 cups of fresh blueberries. Now give um a gentle shake! Fold berries into the cake batter. Grease and flour, (I use no-stick cooking spray with flour), and prepare a bundt pan. Bake in a 325 degree oven, for dark or coated pans like mine, or at 350 for a metal pan, for 38-43 minutes, until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan for 15 minutes.
Turn onto a cake plate and let cake cool completely. Squeeze fresh lemon juice and grate lemon zest. Add corn syrup and powdered sugar together. Mix until smooth and creamy. Glaze cooled cake by drizzling glaze over the top, allowing it to run down the sides.
Top with whipped cream or ice cream and garnish with fresh berries or a twist of lemon.

In a lovely little twist of Providence, I was just thinking of my grandmother’s blueberry cake this morning! I imagine this would have a very similar taste, and I could make it for my family.
I’ll definitely try the lemon glaze, but Grandma always put hot nutmeg sauce on hers so I’ll try that too.
Yum! I just finished lunch and would love a slice before heading back to work!!
Beautiful photos.
Hi! Just wanted to let you know that I am following you! I would LOVE it if you could return the favor!

Gnee, that picture of the cake just turned out of the bundt pan, oozing with blueberries is absolutely mouthwatering. What a great breakfast that would make right at this very moment. I haven’t tried the restaurant in the
river bottoms yet, but I saw it and friends tried it too. We are off to Priest Super Activity this morning, maybe after that!
I wish I could have some of this right now!
