Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Equipment
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Thoroughly grease and flour your bundt pan to ensure easy removal.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Step 3: Cream Butter and Sugar
- In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy—about 3-5 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, and stir in the vanilla extract.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
- Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with sour cream and milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients to maintain a smooth texture.
Step 5: Add Blueberries
- Gently fold in the blueberries to avoid overmixing.
Step 6: Create the Swirl
- If using blueberry jam, spoon it over the batter in dollops, then use a knife to create a gentle swirl pattern.
Step 7: Bake
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 45-50 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Step 8: Cool and Glaze
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
- For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, blueberry puree, and vanilla extract, then drizzle over the cooled cake.

- Use fresh ingredients: Opt for ripe, sweet blueberries to maximize flavor.
- Room temperature ingredients: Ensure the butter, eggs, and sour cream are at room temperature for a smoother batter.
- Prevent sinking blueberries: Toss blueberries in a bit of flour before folding them into the batter to keep them evenly distributed.
