The Story:
“We would have the cutest children.”
That was my opening line.
His name was Matt and he was a complete heartthrob. Tall, bright blue eyes, curly brown hair and a voice that made everything around you disappear. Even though I knew he must have a million girls back home, when he talked it didn’t seem to matter anymore. Those little dimples came out as he smiled at me and when he started to sing on that stage, I knew I didn’t stand a chance.
I know the saying goes that opposites attract, but similarities attract too.
Get it? Bananas and Blueberries are opposites but he has brown, curly hair and blue eyes and so do I…? Yeah, it’s a little bit of a stretch but I tried.
*Disclaimer: This was YEARS ago and the situation merited a ridiculous opening statement. So I’m not totally crazy.

Looks delicious! Do you ever have trouble getting cakes to come out of bundt pans without sticking? (Especially with the berries…chocolate chips and berries always seem to stick to the pan when I make loaves or bundts!) Any tips for getting the cake or loaf out without sticking? (Or do things just always “turn out” nicely for you…cuz you’re so darling! Keep the faith…Mr. Wonderful is out there looking for you too!)
I have been making 2 or 3 Bundt cakes a day for last two weeks and never had a problem. I generously spray Pam’s Baking Spray and it seems to be working for me!
Can you sub strawberries or Chocolate chips for the blueberries?
Yes! But if you use strawberries cut them up in small chunks!
Thank you!! I made this with French Vanilla since I didn’t have White & added Chocolate chips! It was amazing except my icing came out nothing like yours. It ended up very thin on the cake!
I made this yesterday with the kids for my girlfriend’s birthday. We left off the glaze and just dusted it with powdered sugar. She absolutely loved it and loved the fact that because it was easy, everyone got to help. Thank you.
You are very welcome! Bundt cakes are my new favorite thing!
I made this like a previous commenter using French Vanilla cake mix since that is what I had, reduced the vanilla to 1 tsp. It was a huge hit! Everyone loved it – this recipe is a keeper and so easy. Thanks Lizzy – keep the Bundt recipes coming.
Wonderful! Yes, you can use vanilla cake mix where I say white. I just figure the “white” mix is easier to find sometimes.
This recipe is so easy.I can’t waitto try it out!I’m a new reader of your blog Lizzy.But I was wondering at what temperature do you bake the cake?
Just a humble tip for your guests: If you have issues with berries staining your batter, just freeze the fruit for 30 min or so. It helps immensely. I’m thoroughly enjoying your newly discovered website, Lizzie May 🙂 Found it by way of Pinterest, while pinning your Red Velvet Puppy Chow. Definitely will be checking out your cookbooks today!
Thanks for the helpful tip! I always have to carefully fold in my berries so I don’t break one and they “bleed” all over 🙂
Hi Lizzy,
Love your recipes, but can you please tell me if all of your Bundt cakes are baked in the same size pan? I have several Bundt cake pans and they are different sizes. So how do I know which pan I should use in your recipes? It would be helpful to know if you used a 10 in pan, a 10 cup pan or whatever size you used. Some of your cakes look smaller than others, so I thought I would ask. Also, how many cakes do your mini Bundt cake recipes make?
I enjoy your recipes and your blog and I have both of your recipe books. Keep up the good work!
I sometimes do mid-mini pan but most of my full size Bundts are made in a 10 inch pan!
So how can I tell in advance what size pan I should use. I don’t want to use a pan that is too large and not have the cake as tall as it should be, or too use too small and have it over flow. Could you please tell me what size you used for the chocolate zucchini and also the lemon blueberry poppy seed and the pumpkin? I also do not know what size a mid-mini pan is, could you give me some help here?
Thank you for your help,
This is what I call a mid-mini http://www.amazon.com/Wilton-Excelle-Elite-6-Cup-Fluted/dp/B0000DIX7S/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1397596297&sr=8-2&keywords=wilton+mini+bundt+pan
As for the others, I usually use a 10 inch pan. You can always bake them in whatever pan you want, just adjust the baking time.
If you don’t have yogurt or sour cream is there any thing you can use instead of those
how do i figure the approximate calorie cost of each slice?
I’m not sure how I feel about this cake … I could hardly taste the banana in it and I love banana cakes/ breads! It was easy to make because all the ingredients were in my pantry . The blueberries were a nice touch and it was super moist!!!!
This banana blueberry bundt cake is a moist and delicious cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with ripe bananas, blueberries, and a variety of spices. The cake is topped with a simple glaze that adds a touch of sweetness and moisture. While super mario 64, the game that broke the boundaries of what we thought was possible in the world of gaming. Are you ready to explore its magic?
