Description

This light lemon blueberry cake with cake mix is bursting with spring flavour and so easy to make!


Ingredients

Units

  • Lemon Cake Mix: 1 box (15.25 ounces)
  • Eggs: 3
  • Milk: 1 cup
  • Butter: 1/2 cup, melted
  • Blueberries: 1 and 1/2 cups, fresh or frozen
  • Powdered Sugar (optional): 1/4 cup


Instructions

  1. Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a bundt cake pan generously with cooking spray.
  2. Mix: To a mixing bowl, combine the box lemon cake mix, eggs, milk, and melted butter with an electric hand mixer and then fold in the blueberries.
  3. Bake: Pour the cake batter into the bundt pan and bake on the middle rack uncovered for 35-40 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean. Rest in the pan until it's slightly warm to the touch and then turn it onto a cake stand or serving tray. Once completely cooled, sprinkle with some powdered sugar using a sieve (optional).

Notes

Avoid overmixing the cake batter as this can cause the cake to be dense. 

If using frozen blueberries, you do not need to thaw before adding them to the cake batter. They can be added straight from the freezer while still frozen.

To avoid the baked cake from breaking/falling apart when turning it out, ensure it's greased thoroughly before baking and ensure its mostly cooled before turning it out. 

You can add a small package of instant lemon pudding mix to the cake batter if you would like a stronger lemon flavour, however I opt out from adding it because it's already very lemon forward from the lemon cake mix and adding the instant pudding can give off an overpowering/fake lemon taste for some.
