We’re pre-gaming berry season over here with this blueberry lemon bundt cake so that you are ready as soon as those fresh blueberries hit the shelves. Or if you can’t wait you can just as good use frozen blueberries for this bundt. This bundt is moist blueberry filled goodness joined by it’s favourite partner in crime, zesty lemon. Most bundts go for a glaze topping but I opted for a cream cheese buttercream frosting, because cream cheese frosting! But I’ve also added an alternative glaze if you want a simple pour over icing.
