How to make Blueberry Bundt Cake
- Make your cake batter: Mix your wet ingredients then add to your dry mixture. Fold in 90% of your blueberries.
- Add to the bundt pan: Grease a bundt pan and pour in the batter and top with the remainder of your blueberries.
- Bake: Place you bundt pan in the oven at 350 degrees for 40-45 mins.
- Allow to cool, serve and enjoy!
Recipe notes and tips
- Use a preheated oven.
- Be sure to toss your blueberries in 1 flour before adding them to the batter. This helps keep the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the pan.
- Make sure the ingredients for your batter are at room temp, this will give you the smoothest batter.
- Spray the bundt cake with non-stick baking spray and pour in the batter.
- Place you bundt pan on a baking sheet when it goes in the oven. Don’t place the cake pan on the wire racks as this can make the batter swill around and sit unevenly.
- Don’t overmix your batter, mix in your wet and dry ingredients, alternating in stages.
- Test your bundt cake with a wooden skewer to make sure it’s completely dry before removing the cake from the oven. Bake additional minutes for extra cooking if the wooden skewer comes out wet.
- Allow the cake to cool for a few mins before you invert the pan onto a serving plate.
- Dust with icing sugar if you like, looks lovely.
FAQ’s
Can I use frozen blueberries?
Yes you can! If using frozen blueberries, don’t thaw them before adding them to the cake. Be aware that frozen berries can color some of the batter blue. You’re cake could look a bit different BUT will still taste divine!
Can I use other berries?
For sure, feel free to switch things up! This is a great base recipe to add different berries into. Raspberries, cranberries, blackberries or strawberries would be lovely too!

Baked this last night and it was yummy! Took longer to bake than suggested. My guests topped cake with RediWhip.
Thank you Mariaroza for the review. Glad you enjoyed it! I love mine with redi whip too!
I haven’t tried your recipe yet but I was wondering if 2Tbsp of vanilla could possibly be a misprint?
It’s not, I like adding a lot but 1 tbsps. would do it you prefer.
What would be a good topping for this cake? I made it, was delicious! Definitely will make it again, dusting of powdered sugar or drizzle of light lemon glaze? Creme fresh? What would you suggest
Lemon drizzle would work so well with this cake. You can serve some whipped cream or cool whip with it but on the side when you are ready to eat it.
Delicious! Great and easy recipe. It did take about 10 min more in the oven, so just monitor and do the toothpick test as the recipe states.
I made a quick lemon glaze (lemon juice and powdered sugar) for an extra lemony taste.
Yum! the lemon glaze sounds so good with the recipe. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for leaving a review.
I swap out milk, buttermilk, half and half, sour cream, and cream all the time and have always had great success with the swaps. With sour cream or cream I do usually take a tablespoon or two out and add the same amount of milk to thin it a bit.
Thanks for sharing your swaps in the comments! My readers will find it very helpful. Glad you enjoyed the recipe.
I live in high altitude and need to know if and what changes I should make to the patter if any.
can’t wait to try it…Looks so good!
Thanks
Hi ReRe,
I am not sure, but I did see some mentions in the comments above about people saying they were at high altitudes and made it. Please read through them.
Is this recipe still good for a regular vanilla bundt cake without blueberries? Or would you recommend a different recipe?
Hi Isabelle
Yes the base of this recipe works alone or with any fruit you like. You can even mix some of the batter with some chocolate syrup and add it to the pan and make a marbled cake. It’s very versatile. Add anything you like to it.
Thank you so much for this easy recipe! My cake turned out perfectly! I had to use butter instead of oil. Ran out of oil but it still turned out perfectly. Love the amount of vanilla too.
Hi Shia,
So glad to hear you enjoyed this recipe! Thanks for the review.
EASY TO MAKE, BASIC INGREDIENTS THAT WE USUALLY HAVE ON HAND. I PUT EXTRA BERRIES AND DRIZZLED WITH A SIMPLE INGREDIENT FROSTING. I DIDN’T LAST VERY LONG!
Hi Debra,
Glad you enjoyed this recipe. It’s one of my favorite cake recipes. Thanks for the review.
2 tablespoons of vanilla extract? This seems quite excessive.
Hi KJ
You can reduce the quantity to your preference.
This cake is perfect for my tastes–not too sweet, moist, and berries! I increased the baking time in five-minute increments until it was done, but think it came out of the oven at 65 min. Didn’t have blueberries, but did have a “Triple Berry Blend” in my freezer (blackberries, blueberries, and red raspberries) and substituted that. Turned out great!
Hi Jan
Glad the recipe worked out for you. Thanks for leaving a review on it.
Tried this with almond milk and a dash of creamer because we had no milk. Typically I substitute almond for cows but in this recipe I think cows milk would’ve be best.
Hi Kayla!
Thanks for leaving a review. Glad you enjoyed the recipe.
What size Bundt pan do yo use fro this recipe?
Please let me know as soon as possible since I would like to prepare the cake this weekend.
Thank you
Stefan B Gaylord
Hi Stefan!
I just saw your comment. It will be the normal size bundt pan you find in the store. I believe they are the 12 cup pan.
Would it ruin the Blueberry bundt cake if I used buttermilk instead of regular milk?
Hi Linda,
I never tried it but I don’t think it will ruin it. It might change the texture a little and the cook time might be different. You can always insert a toothpick and check if the cake is done on the inside.
Wonderful recipe and cake! A wonderful addition to our Thanksgiving brunch. This recipe was an automatic family favorite. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Holly,
I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe with your family. Thank you for your review!

Hi Ronak,

I tried it with strawberry 🍓 🍓🍓🍓
Yummy! Sounds delicious
How much milk? It’s not in the ingredient list?
Hi Michael!
It’s 1 cup. I have adjusted the recipe. Thanks for letting me know!
Thank you! Just started making this with my 3 year old.
Michael it says 1 cup of whole milk.
