This triple berry lemon bundt cake is so delicious, with fresh lemon flavor in every bite, and sweet berries throughout, it’s the perfect summer cake!
This lemon berry bundt cake is so soft, and moist, with the perfect crumb. It’s flavored with lemon juice, and lemon zest, to keep it light, and lemony, and mixed with lots of frozen blueberries so you’ll get fresh that fresh berry and lemon taste in every bite. It’s perfect for making all summer long.
Tips for making lemon berry bundt cake:
- Make sure to grease your bundt pan generously. Since bundt pans are more intricate than other cake pans, you want to make sure you get all the cracks greased, and the middle flute tube. You can use a nonstick spray or lots of butter. Then I also recommend coating it lightly in flour too, add a tablespoon or two of flour and shake it around to coat the whole pan.
- Bring all your ingredients to room temperature. Let your eggs, butter, and yogurt come to room temperature before getting started so that the batter mixes together easily.
- Instead of Greek yogurt you can also use regular yogurt or sour cream.
- Make sure to toss your berries in flour before adding them to the batter. This will keep them from sinking to the bottom of the pan and keep them spread throughout the batter.
- You can use any mix of your favorite berries. I used a combination of blueberries, strawberries and raspberries, but you can use whichever berries you can get your hands on. Blackberries, huckleberries, boysenberries, or even use just blueberries for a Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cake, instead of a mix. You can also use fresh berries if that’s what you have.
If you have leftover frozen berries after making this cake, they’d be perfect for using in an easy smoothie, berry syrup, or a berry crumble.
How to make lemon berry bundt cake?
Preheat your oven and generously grease your bundt pan. I also like to coat mine in a couple tablespoons of flour.
Combine your dry ingredients in a large bowl, 2 1/4 cups of flour, baking soda, salt and lemon zest. Whisk them together.
In another bowl cream together the butter, and sugar until smooth and creamy, about 2 or 3 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl with a rubber spatula as you go. Add in each of your eggs, one at a time. Stir in your fresh lemon juice into the butter sugar mixture.
Alternate adding your yogurt, then flour mixture, then yogurt, then flour to the butter sugar mixture. Stir until just combined after each addition, don’t over stir.
Toss the berries in the remaining 2 TBS of flour to coat them evenly. Gently stir the berries into the cake batter, it’s very thick, so be careful. Reduce the oven temperature and place the pan in the oven. Bake until the cake is golden on the top, and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool in the pan for about 20-30 minutes, then carefully remove the cake from the pan. Run a knife around the edges to loosen it first, and remove it onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
When the cake is cool whisk the ingredients together for the glaze. Add more powdered sugar, or more milk if you need more for the right consistency. Drizzle the glaze evenly over the top of cake, and let it run down the sides.
This lemon berry cake got more even moist and delectable with every passing day. The leftover cake can be stored in a container with a lid at room temperature for 2 to 3 days, and in the fridge for 4 to 5 days.
You’ll love sharing this lemon berry cake with friends or family, and if you don’t, you won’t mind eating it all yourself either 😉
