Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cakes

looking down and mini bundt cakes

These Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cakes are perfect for the Summer months. Light lemony sponge, filled with pops of sweet blueberries and topped in a fresh greek yogurt glaze, makes this an amazing brunch cake or a light dessert to have at this time of year.

Yes I know, admittedly it isn’t long until summer is technically over … but I believe the transition time from summer till autumn means we can eek out all those summery flavours for longer. Lemon and blueberry as a flavour combination fits perfectly into the summer vibes. Sweet, fruity, light and zesty …. these mini bundt cakes are truly as delicious as they sound and look.

Three Top Tips to make your Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cakes

TIP 1. Prepare your pan correctly. There is nothing worse than going to all the effort of preparing your batter, baking your cake in the bundt tin and then when you come to turn the cake out, half or it says in the pan. Devastating! So to avoid the sad situation you need to prepare your tin properly prior to baking.

Using room temperature butter, brush the moulds with the butter until fully coated. And I mean every nook and cranny coated. Not dust inside of the moulds with flour and shake out the excess.

TIP 2. Prevent your blueberries from sinking. We don’t want our fruit to sink to the bottom of the bundt cake when baking. The aim is to slice into your bundt cake and see them dotted around.

So to prevent the blueberries from sinking you need to coat them in flour. To do this, firstly place the blueberries in a sieve and rinse them under water. Then gently pat them dry with paper towel or a tea towel. Next, add 1 tablespoon of flour to the blueberries and gently toss them around until fully coated.

TIP 3. Add a steam bath to the oven. Adding a steam bath in the oven helps the bundt cakes in two ways. Firstly all that steam coming out of the water adds moisture in the oven and into the batter helping to give them a really moist texture when baked. Secondly, this steam generated and moisture that infuses into the sponge helps prevent the sponge from sticking to the bottom of the bundt pan.

How to freeze your bundt cakes

The cake freezes well for up to 3 months without the glaze. Once the cakes have completely cooled the double wrap in cling film or foil and place in a freezer safe container of freezer bag. To thaw, place on the counter top overnight until completely thawed. Then decorate with the yogurt glaze before serving.

Description

Light lemony sponge, filled with pops of sweet blueberries and topped in a fresh greek yogurt glaze, makes this an amazing brunch cake or a light dessert to have at this time of year.


Ingredients

For the Mini Bundt Cakes

4 eggs, lightly whisked

220g (1 cup) unsalted butter, melted

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

220g (1 cup) sugar

120ml (1/2 cup) water

Juice of one lemon

Zest of 2 lemons

4 tablespoons honey

375g (2 1/2 cups) plain flour

2 tablespoons baking powder

1 teaspoon salt

100g (1 cup) blueberries

25g (1/4 cup) blueberries (for glaze…optional)

 

For the Yogurt Glaze

240g (1 1/2 cups) icing sugar, sifted

125g (1/2 cup) greek yogurt

2 tablespoons lemon juice

 

To decorate

2 tablespoons pistachios, finely chopped

x2 lemon slices, cut


Instructions

For the Bundt Cake

  1. Pre-heat oven to 170C (340F). With room temperature butter, brush the moulds of your mini bundt tin. Dust moulds with flour and knock any excess out. This will help prevent sticking.
  2. Rinse the blueberries and pat them dry. Add about 1 tablespoon of flour to your blueberries and toss them until coated. This will help them float and prevent them sinking to the bottom of your pan whilst baking.
  3. Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, place the eggs, butter, oil, sugar, water, lemon juice, lemon zest and honey. Whisk to combine.
  4. Dry ingredients: In a small bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk to combine.
  5. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mixing gently, combine the two. Fold in the blueberries gently.
  6. Pour batter into the moulds about two thirds full as they’ll rise.
  7. Add a tray filled half way with boiling water to the bottom shelf in the oven. This generates steam whilst the cakes bake and keeps them moist but helps to prevent the mini bundts from sticking in their moulds. Bake for 20-25 mins until golden brown and a skewer comes out clean. Allow to cool before reversing the bundt pan onto the wire rack. The bundt cakes should drop out.

For the Yogurt Glaze

  1. Add ingredients to into a medium bowl and stir until combined. If the glaze is too thick then add 1 teaspoon at a time of water or more lemon juice until you reach the desired consistency
  2. If you’d like to make the purple glaze (optional) then heat 1/4 cup of blueberries in a small saucepan and 2 tablespoons of water. Heat gently, squashing the blueberries with a fork until they are soft and mushy. Sieve the blueberries, discarding the pulp and keeping the juice. Mix a tablespoon of juice into the yogurt glaze instead of the lemon juice. The colour is beautiful!
  3. To decorate fully cooled bundt cakes, pour glaze over and sprinkle with chopped pistachio nuts. Refrigerate for ten minutes until glaze has set and then garnish with lemon slice and blueberries. Serve with a large dollop of cream and enjoy!

    The best thing about making it to Friday...plannin The best thing about making it to Friday...planning that weekend baking project. And this Earl Grey Creme Brûlée Tart fits the bill. Lightly fragranced bergamot tea custard topped with that signature crunchy shell encased in flakey sweet shortcrust pastry. oh yeah. It’s good. Like really really delicious. And if you can’t be bothered to make the tart- then just make the creme brûlée in ramekins. Link in profile.

Now let’s talk progression- swipe right for my new rhubarb cake images as opposed to two years ago when I initially photographed this recipe. Worlds apart! How did I progress? 
1. Invested in myself by attending @foodtographyschool . I needed help and I turned to an expert for it instead of spending months/years mindlessly searching on u-tube.
2. Practice everyday - think about composition, understand the light you have to work with, know the message you are trying to portray. All skills that you can be taught but it’s up to you to develop them and progress. 
✨
After 18 months of hard graft, I landed a cook book deal. Without learning and then practicing my craft there is no way that dream would have been realised so quickly.
