Best Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cake
One day I was in the mood for some fruity deliciousness and saw this recipe for a Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cake. I decided to do more of a fluffy lemon, cream cheese frosting than a glaze and it turned out awesome.
The tartness of the lemon with the sweet tang of the blueberry mixed into the sweet buttery cake is a match made in heaven. The frosting is perfection. Seriously, the combination of the lemon with the cream cheese is to.die.for.
Let’s talk for a minute about how awesome bundt cakes are. They’re pretty AND they take much less effort than a layered cake. At this stage in my life (busy mom of four) they’re basically my best friend and they should be yours too.
