Lemon Blueberry Swirl Bundt Cake, a simple bundt cake recipe blending favorite spring flavors of lemon & blueberries. Great for Easter or Mother’s Day!
Do you love lemon recipes? We are crazy for them in our house, especially when you combine them with blueberries. That lemon/blueberry combo makes everyone in our family so happy every time I create something new with them.
Who can blame them, it’s just so tasty! To me, it’s like spring on a fork. I get so excited when our blueberry bush & lemon trees start producing fruit as the weather gets warmer.
Thank you Bob’s Red Mill for sponsoring this post! All statements & opinions are that of Kleinworth & Co.
It creates an instant good mood for all of us & I can’t wait to get baking with it all. I decided to celebrate the snow melting with this Lemon Blueberry Swirl Bundt Cake that is incredibly easy to make & soooooo delicious!
Blueberry Swirl Bundt Cake
I just love making bundt cakes. They look so fancy & everyone thinks you slaved away in the kitchen when you serve them. They just have this look about them that seems intimidating or difficult to make.
Well, I’m here to tell you that this cake is almost as easy as a mix. So there’s really no excuse to not make one yourself!
I always use top-notch ingredients in my baking recipes. I want the best I can give when serving my friends & family just like you do.
Because quality is of the utmost importance to me, I use Bob’s Red Mill Organic Unbleached All-Purpose Flour.
I like that it’s not enriched with any additives. It produces well-textured cakes just as easy as it creates light & airy baked goods. Versatility is a must in my kitchen.
That swirl of blueberry through the center is so fun. You never know what the next piece will look like until you cut it.
The glaze is simple & priovides not only visual interest but just enough additional sweetness.

Look at those details from the pan. I love bundt cakes because the pan really makes the cake. They can be simple, which is elegant & understated or you can choose an elaborately detailed pan, which just adds to the wow-factor!
Here are some commonly asked questions
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes, absolutely, that will work just fine. Just be sure to thaw them & pat them dry before using so they don’t add additional moisture to the cake.
Should I use salted or unsalted butter?
If you are worried about your salt intake, then choose unsalted. I personally don’t mind either way, so I use whatever I have on hand.
Can I use a sugar substitute?
I have not personally tried it, so I can’t say how that would turn out. But if you would like to try it, I suggest a product that offers a 1:1 swap. Please let me know how it turns out.
Can I use a different berry?
Yes, that will work just fine. This recipe is great with raspberries and blackberries. I have not tried it with strawberries yet.
Can I use gluten-free flour?
I’m not sure just yet. I have been meaning to give this a try but haven’t had a chance. If you do try this, I would recommend using a 1:1 gluten-free flour like this one as I don’t believe it would require additional ingredients that are typically called for when trying to make baked recipes in a gluten-free version. Please come back & tell me how it turned out.
Blueberry Bundt Cake
Can this bundt cake be frozen?
Yes, I do it often. Just be sure to wrap tightly with plastic wrap and mark with the date before freezing. Please use within 6 months.
How many can this serve?
This recipe makes about 12 slices. But that will depend on how large or small you cut your slices.
HOW DO YOU MAKE Lemon Blueberry Swirl Bundt Cake?
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Spray bundt pan with cooking spray (I like Bakers Joy) – set aside.
- In a small bowl combine blueberries & ¼ cup granulated sugar.
- Mix & mash the berries until sugar is dissolved & you have created a syrup-like consistency with berry chunks – set aside.
- Add cream cheese & butter to large mixing bowl & beat together on med-high until smooth.
- Slowly add in instant pudding powder & sugar & beat again until light & fluffy.
- Reduce mixer speed & add in eggs, one at a time & mix until just incorporated.
- On low speed, add flour, one cup at a time, until just incorporated.
- Transfer half the batter into the bottom of the prepared pan.
- Spoon in prepared berry mixture & then top with the remaining cake batter.
- Bake about 1 hour & 20 minutes (80-85 minutes) or until toothpick test is clean.
- Cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes before turning out onto wire rack to continue cooling.
- Prepare the glaze by combining ingredients & whisking until smooth. Drizzle over the cake before serving.
What is the best way to store leftover bundt cake?
I like to place it in an airtight container and refrigerate. Sometimes when serving on a cake plate I will just wrap it with plastic wrap and then refrigerate.
