Sour Cream Blueberry Bundt Cake Is A Family Favorite!
My kids are crazy about blueberry desserts. Blueberry donuts? Gimme. Blueberry Muffins? Can’t make them fast enough. Blueberry Cake? Gone in minutes. But a bowl of fresh blueberries? No thank you, please. They literally pick around them in a fruit salad, avoiding them at all costs. But this Blueberry Cake…well they fought over the last piece.
Blueberry Cake Is Perfect For Breakfast, Brunch, or Dessert!
This cake is super simple to make, and it’s really a great option for holiday brunch, a weekend breakfast, or even a dessert. The sour cream in the cake makes it so moist, without giving it any “sour cream flavor”. I know a lot of you don’t prefer sour cream, so note that you don’t taste it at all!
Fresh Blueberries or Frozen?
Either! This cake is outstanding when blueberries are in season! But of course they aren’t in season all year long…and since in my world it’s always cake season I use frozen blueberries just as often as I use fresh.
If using frozen blueberries:
Thaw your blueberries Rinse them. Pat them dry
Always Spray Your Bundt Pan with Non-Stick Spray
If you are using baking spray to grease your bundt pan, I have found that if I spray the pan right before adding the batter I have better results when I remove the cake from the pan. I am not sure the reason for this, but if I spray the pan before I make the batter and set it aside I have had problems with the cake sticking. Spraying right before I add the batter has given me the most consistent results at removing the cake. Also note THIS is the bundt pan that I have used for years and swear by it! Nothing ever sticks, as long as the pan is prepped!
Can You Use Other Fruit In This Cake?
Yes you can! I’ve found that berries work best. Here are a few ideas:
Blackberries Raspberries Strawberries. Note – These can sometimes make the cake a little “mushy” as strawberries release a decent amount of moisture as they bake. But it will still be good!
What Can You Substitute For Sour Cream?
If you just don’t have sour cream on-hand, you can use a few substitutes in its place with a 1:1 ratio:
Greek Yogurt Buttermilk Creme Fraiche Cottage Cheese
