Instructions

Preheat your oven and grease the Bundt pan thoroughly, coating every groove. Dust lightly with flour and shake off excess.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda until well mixed.
In a large bowl, mix sugar and lemon zest, rubbing them together until the sugar is slightly moist and fragrant.
Add softened salted butter and beat until creamy and fluffy. Incorporate eggs one at a time, adding extra yolk afterward.
Blend in vanilla extract and fresh lemon juice, then add dry ingredients and buttermilk alternately, mixing gently until just combined.
Fold in blueberries with a spatula to keep them whole and distribute evenly.
Pour batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smooth the top, and tap gently to release air pockets.
Bake for 55–60 minutes until risen and golden, testing with a toothpick for doneness. Let it rest briefly before transferring to a cooling rack.
For the glaze, beat cream cheese and salted butter until smooth, then gradually mix in powdered sugar and lemon juice until thick and creamy.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to drizzle down the sides before slicing.

Notes

Ensure the blueberries are fresh for the best flavor and texture.
Let the cake cool completely before glazing for a clean finish.
Store the cake in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
