Ingredients
  

  • 150 g unsalted butter for a rich and buttery flavor.
  • 180 g sugar to provide sweetness.
  • 3 large eggs for moisture and structure.
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence adds a warm flavor.
  • 160 ml buttermilk keeps the cake moist.
  • 2 medium lemons zest and juice for a bright, citrusy flavor.
  • 250 g white flour the base of the cake.
  • 1 tsp baking powder helps the cake rise.
  • ½ tsp salt enhances the flavors.
  • 125 g blueberries the star of the show.
  • 1 tbsp flour to coat the blueberries before adding to the batter.
  • 100 g cream cheese for the creamy frosting.
  • 60 g butter for the frosting, adds richness.
  • 220 g powdered sugar sweetens the frosting.
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence for flavor in the frosting.
  • lemon zest for decoration and extra flavor.

Equipment

  • Bundt pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric mixer
  • Rubber spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Cooling rack
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your bundt pan thoroughly with butter or a non-stick spray.
  2. Cream together the unsalted butter and sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla essence.
  4. Mix in the buttermilk, zest, and juice of the lemons. The mixture may look slightly curdled.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the white flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, folding gently with a rubber spatula.
  7. Toss the blueberries with flour to coat them. This will help prevent them from sinking.
  8. Gently fold the floured blueberries into the batter.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  10. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  11. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then invert it onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
  12. Beat together the cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla essence, mixing until creamy.
  13. Once the cake is cooled, spread the cream cheese frosting over the top.
  14. Finish with a sprinkle of lemon zest on top for decoration.

Notes

  • Bake the cake a day in advance for the best flavor.
  • Frost the cake just before serving to keep it fresh.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze the unfrosted cake for up to 3 months, wrapped tightly.
