Ultimate Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cakes with Poppy Seeds
I love bundt cakes. There’s just something so delicious about a dense cake drizzled with sweet sugary glaze…yum. Whenever I pick what kind of lemon bundt cake to make I feel like I have to pick between blueberries or poppy seeds or adding almond extract. Well this time I threw everything but the kitchen sink in these cuties! The cake has fresh lemon juice and zest, poppy seeds, and blueberries while the glaze is made with almond extract. POW! The flavor is out of control today with these Ultimate Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cakes!
How to Keep your Bundt Cakes from Sticking to the Pan
Okay, this is a big one. You spend all that time making your bundt cake and waiting for it to bake only to flip it over and have your heart break! I have tried lots of different techniques and sprays and this one is my favorite! I just get it from my local grocery story and it works like a charm.
Mini Lemon Bundt Cakes
The pan I use is like a mid-size bundt pan. I love it because the mini pans are just too small, I need to eat like 3 of them to equal a piece of cake! But these ones are great for a generous single serving or perfectly cute to share with someone special. Plus, there’s enough room to fill the middle with fruit which makes these gorgeous!
Ah! Naked Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cakes!
Juuuust kidding, they just look so bare without any glaze or toppings!
Adding glaze, fresh fruit and a sprinkle of almonds takes these bundt cakes to a whole new level! Just taking a few extra steps makes these look professional and even more mouth-watering. I added the almonds mostly to give a hint at what was in the glaze…
I did an instagram poll when I made these Ultimate Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cakes asking if I should fill them with blueberries or strawberries. The poll was split perfectly in half! So I decided to do both!
ULTIMATE Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cakes (with Poppy Seeds + Almond Glaze)
Ingredients
- CAKE:
- 1 box white cake mix
- 1 box lemon white chocolate, or vanilla instant pudding mix (4 serving size box)
- 2/3 C. oil
- 1 C. Sour cream
- 4 eggs
- zest of two large lemons
- 1/2 C. lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 2 Tbsp. Poppy Seeds
- 1 1/2 C. blueberries fresh or frozen
- ALMOND GLAZE:
- 2 C. powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp. almond extract
- 2-4 Tbsp milk or fresh lemon juice
Instructions
-
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray bundt pans! (You can use any size bundt pan for this recipe but you will need to adjust the time.)
-
2. Combine cake mix, instant pudding mix, oil, sour cream, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice and poppy seeds. Mix until smooth.
-
3. Fold in blueberries and fill bundt pans!
-
4. Bake for 17-25 minutes (I used a mid sized bundt pan) or until an inserted knife comes out clean!
-
Regular bundt pans take 40-60 minutes to bake and the tiny mini pans take 10-17 minutes.
-
5. Let cool in pan for at least 7 minutes and then turn out.
-
6. Glaze: combine powdered sugar, almond extract and 1 tbsp of milk. Whisk until smooth, but it should be somewhat thick. Add more milk if needed. Pour into a zip lock bag and snip off the corner to easily drizzle over cooled or warm cakes! Enjoy!
I assume that this could also be made in a regular bundt pan. would I bake it using the regular size bundt pan?
That was supposed to say how long would I bake it
I would start checking it around 40 minutes! But my guess is it will be done around 50 minutes or so! Some ovens and pans bake differently so I wouldn’t be shocked if it took an hour!
You really need to publish another cupcake book. Many of us makes cupcakes for our grand kids and and family birthdays. It would be a hit!
You are so sweet! I can’t promise anything but maybe in the next year or two I can start working on another!

I recently paid the best price for this Shuntaro Chishiya Hoodie from the top internet merchant. My item was delivered in a short period of time, and I tried it on right away. This hoodie fits me perfectly. The appealing color and style of this Hoodie were the things I liked most about it because the material quality is so excellent.
