How to make Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cake:
For the Bundt Cake
- Prep. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a Bundt cake pan with nonstick baking spray.
- Make the Bundt cake batter. Whisk together the lemon cake mix, lemon pudding mix, buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, milk, and lemon zest in a large bowl with a hand mixer or in a stand mixer with a paddle attachment until smooth. Don’t over-mix to get the right texture.
- Add the blueberries. In a medium mixing bowl, toss the blueberries together with the flour mixture and then gently fold in the blueberries into the batter. Do not over-mix.
- Bake. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Cool. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Glaze
- Simmer. In a saucepan, combine the fresh berries, powdered sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries break down and the mixture thickens. Remove from the heat.
- Strain. Strain the blueberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a small bowl.
- Make it creamy. Whisk the milk into the glaze.
- Glaze the cake. Once the cake has cooled, drizzle the blueberry simple glaze over the top of the tender bundt cake.

I thought that one cup of vegetable oil was too much and it was. Blech. Had to throw the mess out. Not moist but greasy.
