Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Structure is key; it holds the cake together without making it dense.
  • 1 cup granulated sugar Adds sweetness; creaming with butter gives a light, fluffy texture.
  • ½ cup unsalted butter Provides richness and moisture; remember to soften it at room temperature.
  • 2 pieces eggs Acts as a binding agent; best at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • 1 cup blueberries Fresh, juicy flavor bursts; if using frozen, do not thaw to avoid color bleeding.
  • 1 cup whole milk Keeps the batter moist; use it at room temperature for an even mix.
  • ½ cup sour cream Adds extra moisture and a hint of tang; also should be at room temperature.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice Bright acidity enhances flavor; it's a must for that zesty kick.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest Vital for aromatics; carries essential oils that boost flavor.
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder Helps the cakes rise; make sure it’s fresh for the best outcome.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Deepens the flavor; a comforting base note to balance the tartness.
  • ¼ teaspoon salt Enhances overall flavor; balances the sweetness perfectly.
  • spray olive oil spray Prevents sticking; ensure a thorough coating of the bundt pan.
For the Glaze
  • 1 cup powdered sugar Acts as the glaze base; gives a sweet finish to each cake.
  • a few tablespoons additional milk Adjusts the glaze consistency; consider adding lemon juice for extra tartness.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Gather your ingredients and have your mini bundt pan ready.
  2. Whisk together 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl.
  3. In another bowl, mix together 1 cup of whole milk, ½ cup of sour cream, the juice of one lemon, and the zest of that lemon until smooth.
  4. Cream ½ cup of softened unsalted butter with 1 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Slowly add the wet mixture to the butter and sugar blend, alternating with the dry ingredients, beating gently until just combined.
  6. Toss 1 cup of fresh blueberries with a bit of flour to coat them. Gently fold the blueberries into the batter.
  7. Generously spray your mini bundt pan with olive oil spray. Fill each mold about two-thirds full with the batter.
  8. Bake for about 19 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick—it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the cakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully turn the pan upside down to release the cakes onto a wire rack.
  10. Whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar with a few tablespoons of milk until desired consistency. Mix in lemon juice if desired and drizzle over cooled cakes.
