Lemon Glazed Blueberry Pound Cake – Tangy, sweet, lemony, moist bundt pound cake with real blueberries cooked into every bite, and a sweet and lemony glaze on top!
Now, y’all know me… I love all things fruit and cake and this recipe satisfies all those cravings! The flavor that the cooked blueberries bring in with the tangy lemon really pulls the whole cake together.
I love me some good cake, and what makes it even better is when you eat a bite of it with milk, and like how you dip cookies in milk, it just makes it sooo good. My boyfriend Kal thinks that’s weird, which it probably is, but cake and milk are my 2 favorite things, and so putting them together in one bite, just yum. Don’t knock it before you try it.
And I was shocked at how fluffy the cake batter was. It reminds me of the minion movie where the little girl says “ITS SO FLUFFY”.
