Buttermilk Blueberry Bundt Cake

Up until now the Sour Cream Blueberry Loaf has been my favorite blueberry bread, but this petite Buttermilk Blueberry Bundt Cake baked in a 6 cup Bundt pan is a close second. Or maybe I like this one a little better? It’s hard to say, but I enjoyed the taste testing process!  This one is a bit sweeter and especially good when made with whole milk buttermilk blend (Kemp's, for instance), but any buttermilk will work.

As for the size of the cake, I made the Buttermilk Blueberry Bundt Cake in the six cup Bundt pan I bought at Target years ago. It's easier to find heavier, more expensive small Bundt pans these days, but the little green one we purchased back in 2013 served us well through the years.  Update! I recently bought a pair of silicone 6 cup Bundt pans and they are great. It's so nice not having to grease the pan.

No Buttermilk Blueberry Bundt Cake Variation

Thanks to Sharon for requesting a replacement for the butter. I did a little test and made a batch with Greek yogurt and oil. The cake has the word buttermilk in the title, but for this variation I omitted the buttermilk completely and used 6 tablespoons of Greek yogurt. I also omitted the butter completely and increased the oil for a total of 6 tablespoons of oil. So here are the measurements for the no butter version.

    Is there a substitution for the butter that I can use?

    Yes, you can use frozen blueberries. The cake might take a little longer, as the cold blueberries will make the batter colder.

    Can you use frozen Blueberry's?

    I'm glad you are letting it go for longer. I have only tested the small size cake, so I'm not sure how long the large size one will actually take. And yes, I waited for it to cool before dusting with sugar. I hope it works out for you! If you don't like this one for some reason, there Blueberry Sour Cream Loaf Cake has been getting lots of good reviews. I wish I had more people around to test large size cakes on.

    I made this and we thought it was very good. I used a generous amount of grated lemon zest but mine could have used more lemon. Maybe I had a wimpy lemon? Lol! I think a lemon glaze would be a nice addition. The texture of this is really nice and the blueberries really stand out. I had to use low-fat buttermilk because that’s all the store I was at had. It worked just fine.
    The recipe is very easy to put together.

    Do-Rite Donuts are so good! My favorite so far in Dallas are Hypnotic, but I have a lot more to try. Also, I hope you get a chance to try this cake. After writing this post I am thinking seriously about purchasing a better quality 6 cup Bundt pan. For a while they were hard to find but now they are everywhere.

    The timing of this post is amazing. I’ve had blueberry buckle on my mind all day today. What started it was a trip to Do-Rite donuts in Chicago yesterday where I purchased my all time favorite donut which is their blueberry crumb donut. It occurred to me that the donut reminds me a lot of blueberry buckle which is just a funny name for blueberry coffee cake IMO.
    This cake looks like it would be very tasty and a splendid stand in for blueberry crumb donuts.
