  • Yield: 10-12 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 1/2 cups cake flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 egg yolks, room temperature
  • 3 eggs, room temperature
  • 2/3 cup milk, room temperature
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp lemon extract
  • 1/2 cup blueberries
  • 1 Tbsp flour

For the Glaze:

  • 2 TB unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 c. confectioners sugar
  • 3 TB lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Grease and flour a 12 cup bundt pan.
  3. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar for at least 2 minutes, until light and fluffy.

  5. Add the egg yolks to the mixer and beat until just combined
  6. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing for at least 20 seconds after each.

  15. To glaze, melt the butter in a small bowl.
  16. Stir together with the confectioner’s sugar and lemon juice.
