Lemon Blueberry Yogurt Bundt Cake #BundtAMonth

I love making bundt cakes.

When I think back to when I joined the fabulous #BundtAMonth group, I thought it would be a good way to add some baking fun here on the blog. I had truly forgotten how much fun it is to bake. it may not be your first thought, but baking a bundt cake is exciting! That little small thrill of whether it comes out of the pan in one piece. The dense, flavorful combinations you can try. My mouth is watering just thinking about it, and now I am about to get you drooling too!

This month’s #BundtAMonth theme is berrilicious! We all used some type of berry in the baking of our bundt cakes. I went with one of my favorite combinations for this deliciously sweet and tangy Lemon Blueberry Yogurt Bundt Cake.

I’ve been using the same recipe lately for all my bundts, and just switching up the blended greek yogurt in the base of ingredients. The greek yogurt gives the cake a moisture and density that is divine. My office can attest to that, since they have now tried this cake, and last month’s White Chocolate Black Cherry Yogurt Bundt, and now this version. Neither were on the community food table in my area very long. That makes me happy.

This bundt was inspired by My Baking Addiction’ss recipe here. I just switched up a few details here and there, and of course used my own go to glaze. It is by far the easiest glaze to make and change up the flavor profile to match your specific cake. Berry season is coming up fast, if it hasn’t already started in your area. It’s a perfect time to get out there and pick some fresh berries and make a super berrilicious themed bundt cake for yourself. There are plenty of options to use for inspiration below from the #BundtAMonth crew!
