Great Recipe! I didn't have blueberries, sour cream, lemon zest or oil spray. I replaced with 1 1/2 cup frozen raspberries, cream + 1 tsp of calamondin juice and 2 tbsp of calamondin juice and just greased really well with butter just before pouring the batter in the pan. Baked it in a rose bundt pan and it turned out really moist and not too sweet! Definitely recommended.
Can we use yogurt instead of sour cream? The one thing I didn't get at the store!
This is one of the best cakes I have ever made. I just used 1 cup of blueberries as 2 cups made it too heavy. Take it to most pot lucks and whenever I need a no-fail desert.
Yummy cake. Didn't have sour cream or lemon zest. Had some leftover cream puff custard from last week which broke down. Good substitute for the sour cream. Used 1 tablespoon frozen lemon juice in place of the lemon zest. Will be making this again!
This cake is wonderful! I made it for my sister-n-law's baby shower even though I couldn't attend it, I made it in the morning and dropped it off. It got RAVE REVIEWS. Everyone loved it and wanted the recipe. I kept asking "how was the shower?" and all they could say was "your cake was amazing!" Printing it out again to make it for another family function. Who can beat fresh blueberries and fresh lemon!
This one did not turn out for me, but I will give it another try. I used frozen blueberries and it is quite messy. Hopefully the 2nd time will be better.
I absolutely loved this recpie. The cake was a big hit in my family. I impressed my in-laws with it. Its a perfect cake to have with tea/coffee. Not too sweet, its very light and moist. Great for blueberry lovers.
I made it twice already and i'm sure I will make it again.
A great recipe, it was so light and moist! Go liberal with the cooking spray as the blueberries can stick some times.
I also used frozen blueberries and added a glaze from the juice. In addition I added 1/2 tsp lemon extract. Great cake!
Wow, this cake was out of this world. I used frozen blueberries and no one had a clue (DO NOT thaw the berries before using). The cake is very moist and tender and the lemon zest is delightful with the blueberries. I will be making and serving this cake all year because I don't have to wait for blueberry season. I highly recomment it.
Best bundt cake I have ever made. Super moist and froze well. The lemon/blueberry combination is wonderful. I first tried at my sister's house and have been making it ever since. A real hit at work too!

EXCELLENT!! I made this and brought it to work...everyone loved it. I took the 2 lemons that were used for zest, squeezed the juice from them and added powdered sugar until it was a thick pouring consistency and poured it over the cake for a glaze. Very moist and delicious cake!!
