Blueberry Bundt Cake Recipe – with Lemon Powdered Sugar

January 10, 2019

The hubby gave me a new bundt pan for Christmas so when he needed a cake for a meeting my first thought was to try that baby out. It was a morning meeting so I needed to make something a little coffee cake like so I looked for a somewhat simple recipe and I found what I was looking for in one of my new cookbooks, Everyday Dorie by Dorie Greenspan. I have several of her cookbooks and I use them often. Here I used her recipe for Blueberry Bundt Cake and adapted it slightly as I had huckleberries and I added a lemon powdered sugar to the top. The recipe is written as blueberry cake since most people don’t have huckleberries but either berry can be used. I don’t know about you but I love a fruity bundt cake of any kind.

How Was the Blueberry Bundt Cake?

As is often the case with the cakes I bake, I have no blessed idea.  The hubby took it off to his meeting and none came home. I guess that says something. He told me that everyone enjoyed it, several folk went back for seconds and most importantly he loved it. That’s about all I can ask for, eh?

I do love my new square bundt pan though, it sure makes for a pretty cake. Don’t you think?
