"What a cake!! DELICIOUS! Not too sweet - not too heavy - just perfect for Summer! And the glaze is to die for!! Can't wait to make it again! I adapted this recipe from a Family Circle magazine where it was named "The Best Bundt Cake Ever"!! and I believe it's true!!"

For people having trouble with blueberries sinking to the bottom, this seems to be a thinner batter. If you substitute 1 cup of sour cream for the 1 cup of buttermilk you will have a nice thick batter, and no sunken blueberries. You could also decrease the flour to 2 1/2 cups that way. This is a good lightly lemon pound cake with blueberries. I increased the blueberries to 3 cups.

I'm sorry to give this cake only 4 stars.. was really looking forward to it with all the rave reviews.. but it wasn't as lemony as I had hoped by far. A very nice fine grained, mild lemon cake which the blueberries compliment nicely (although i would have added more). note: you can also make a delicious and beautiful glaze with ordinary sugar and lemon juice which wll intensify the lemon flavor and poured onto a warm cake leaves a coating of crystalised crunchy bits. I believe it's about 1 cup lemon juice to 1/2 cup sugar.. or sweeten to your taste.

WOW!!!! This really is the best blueberry bundt cake I've ever made (and I've made A LOT of bundt cakes). I made three modifications - only used 1 1/2 cups sugar (because I like it less sweet), used a combination of milk and yogurt for the buttermilk (because I didn't have any), and I left the corn syrup out of the glaze (also because I was out). The cake was perfectly moist with a fine crumb and a delightful balance of blueberry and lemon flavor. I would be sure to use fresh lemon juice in this recipe because that canned stuff tends to taste funny. Absolutely perfect. Thanks for sharing, Redsie!

Wow! What a cake! Mine came out so smooth and buttery. It is a very dense and moist cake. I used frozen blueberries and most did sink to the bottom, but not all and the cake still looked beautiful. Also, I used an old angel food cake tin because I don't have a bundt pan and I didn't have any problems with sticking though I did use baking Pam generously and then floured the pan as well. I think a key to this cake is making sure you beat the butter, sugar, and eggs enough. I will definitely be making this again!

Just added more lemon zest to the cake and drizzle, added blueberries to the top for decoration and had to cook for 70 minutes before it was cooked in the middle.
