Sour Cream Blueberry Bundt Cake Is A Family Favorite!
My kids are crazy about blueberry desserts. Blueberry donuts? Gimme. Blueberry Muffins? Can’t make them fast enough. Blueberry Cake? Gone in minutes.
But a bowl of fresh blueberries? No thank you, please. They literally pick around them in a fruit salad, avoiding them at all costs.
But this Blueberry Cake…well they fought over the last piece.
Blueberry Cake Is Perfect For Breakfast, Brunch, or Dessert!
This cake is super simple to make, and it’s really a great option for holiday brunch, a weekend breakfast, or even a dessert. The sour cream in the cake makes it so moist, without giving it any “sour cream flavor”. I know a lot of you don’t prefer sour cream, so note that you don’t taste it at all!
Fresh Blueberries or Frozen?
Either! This cake is outstanding when blueberries are in season! But of course they aren’t in season all year long…and since in my world it’s always cake season I use frozen blueberries just as often as I use fresh.
If using frozen blueberries:
- Thaw your blueberries
- Rinse them.
- Pat them dry
Always Spray Your Bundt Pan with Non-Stick Spray
If you are using baking spray to grease your bundt pan, I have found that if I spray the pan right before adding the batter I have better results when I remove the cake from the pan. I am not sure the reason for this, but if I spray the pan before I make the batter and set it aside I have had problems with the cake sticking. Spraying right before I add the batter has given me the most consistent results at removing the cake.
Also note THIS is the bundt pan that I have used for years and swear by it! Nothing ever sticks, as long as the pan is prepped!
Can You Use Other Fruit In This Cake?
Yes you can! I’ve found that berries work best. Here are a few ideas:
- Blackberries
- Raspberries
- Strawberries. Note – These can sometimes make the cake a little “mushy” as strawberries release a decent amount of moisture as they bake. But it will still be good!
What Can You Substitute For Sour Cream?
If you just don’t have sour cream on-hand, you can use a few substitutes in its place with a 1:1 ratio:
- Greek Yogurt
- Buttermilk
- Creme Fraiche
- Cottage Cheese

Description
I made this Sour Cream Blueberry Bundt Cake over the weekend and couldn’t wait to share the recipe! It’s CRAZY moist, soft and loaded with fresh blueberries!
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, room temperature
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 2/3 cups flour
- 1 1/2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen and thawed)
Icing
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the butter and sugar together on medium speed for 2 minutes, until light and fluffy. Add in eggs, vanilla, sour cream, salt, and baking powder, and mix for an additional minute until smooth, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
- Turn mixer to low and mix until the flour until just combined.
- Fold in the blueberries.
- Coat a 9-10 inch bundt pan with baking spray. Spread the cake batter in the pan and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes and then invert the pan onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Icing
- In a medium bowl whisk together the butter, powdered sugar, vanilla, and 1 tablespoon of milk. Add an additional tablespoon of milk if you would like a thinner icing.
- Drizzle the icing on the cake when mostly cooled.
Notes
I find that if I am using baking spray to grease my bundt pan, it works best if I spray it just before I fill the pan with batter.
Store airtight for up to 3 days.

OMG, as my Mom would say to anything Awesome! This cake was so easy to make and using fresh frozen blueberries makes it a dreamy kinda cake! Perfecto is what my cake tasted and looked like. Put a little of turbinado sugar and a spotty look of chopped pecans before the batter and oh boy that just took it to another level. Add just powered sugar to the top so you can taste the sweetness from the sugar.

What would the conversion of 2 C of flour be in grams?
Very good! My husband really enjoyed it. I didn’t get around to topping with the frosting. Printing to put into my favorites binder.

The recipe sounds good. I’d like to make it in a 8x eight or larger baking pan. Do you think it would work
Use a 9×13- inch pan!
My cake collapsed a little in the center. I’m new at baking but I believe I followed the recipe faithfully. Ive got out of the bundt pan but it’s 11 o’clock p m. So I’ll ice it in the morning.
this recipe is superb! it came out beautifully and was so delicious. I used large blueberries that were fresh. Even the icing was amazing.

So glad you loved it! It’s one of our favorites!
This looks delicious, but not very big. What is your opinion of doubling the ingredients?
The cake is a standard bundt size cake. It’s baked in a 10- inch bundt pan which has the capacity of 10 -12 cups. You would need 2 bundt pans to double the recipe, as it would be too much batter to fit in one. So if you would like to double, make 2 cakes!
Thank you so much for getting back quickly! I plan to bake it tomorrow and will not double. . Happy Mother’s Day!
My hubby LOVES this cake as well as my extended family! My MIL whom I made this for originally, actually makes this for my SILs sister for every bday, holiday etc. They can’t get enough of it. I follow the recipe exactly with one exception of shaking the berries with a little bit of flour other than that it is perfect! Thank you so much for sharing a delicious, can be eaten everyday delight!
