Ingredients:

For the Cake:

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Zest of 2 lemons
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 cup fresh blueberries (or frozen, thawed and drained)

For the Glaze:

1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan, ensuring to coat it evenly.


Prepare the Dry Ingredients:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds. Set aside.


Make the Cake Batter:

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, mix in the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice until well combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Gently fold in the blueberries until evenly distributed throughout the batter.


Bake the Cake:

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and spread it out evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.


Prepare the Glaze:

While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth. Adjust the consistency by adding more lemon juice if needed.


Glaze the Cake:

Carefully invert the slightly cooled cake onto a wire rack set over a baking sheet or parchment paper.

Drizzle the prepared glaze over the warm cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let the glaze set before slicing and serving.

Slice the Blueberry Lemon Poppy Seed Bundt Cake and serve each piece with a cup of tea or coffee for a delightful treat.
