Lemon Blueberry Bundt with White Chocolate

Food Librarian - Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cake
Lemon Blueberry Bundt
from the Nestle's website

Still working on those Costco blueberries (I think they are actually breeding and multiplying in the clam-shell box...)

Today's blueberry item: Lemon Blueberry Bundt. Yes, shocker of all shockers...Mary selected a Bundt cake!

This recipe is pretty much a buttermilk pound cake with some added melted white chocolate (didn't really taste this in the end product). Add half the batter then the blueberries. The blueberries are supposed to end up in the middle. But since I must have the heaviest blueberries on the planet (see my upside down blueberry cake from earlier this week) and I forgot to dust them in cornstarch or flour (although the recipe didn't call for this), they kinda sunk and didn't end up looking anything like the photo on Nestle's website.

The topping/glaze is 1 cup of melted white chocolate morsels with optional lemon extract.

Yeah, those blueberries were no where in the middle. But I just say the cake has its own mind and character.

Was it my favorite bundt? No, not really. I would rather have Everyday Food's Berry-Lemon Bundt with the lemon glaze, rather than this white chocolate glaze. But I know there are a bunch of white chocolate lovers out there so you might want to give this one a try!

P.S. Happy Birthday Karen!!!

    I can't believe I'm saying this but I don't know that I've ever made a bundt cake! I wonder if I can make this gluten-free...I'm really liking that glaze--divine :).

    I think a white chocolate glaze may be the only way I'll eat white chocolate. Your bundt cake looks yummy as usual.

    Man, I wish I could find some giant fresh blueberries around here :) The cake looks terrific! I'm with you though - I think I'd prefer the lemon glaze over the white chocolate.

    Yum! This blueberry bundt looks fabulous. And that white chocolate on top is just fantastic. This is such a wonderful, summery treat. Glad you're attempting to make a dent in those blueberries :)

    Well I guess they can't all be favorites. It does look very good though.

    Oh. My. Lemon + blueberry = happiness! I don't think I'd like the white chocolate glaze either, but the bundt cake itself looks yum!

    I love how the blueberries all sunk to the bottom/top! I tried to make a really pretty layered blueberry poundcake last year. I envisioned lovely stripes of blue throughout each slice, but all I ended up with was a big blob of dark blue on the bottom of each piece!

    i think i would prefer the lemon glaze, too, although your white chocolate glaze certain looks pretty next to the blueberries!

    No better combination than lemon and blueberry. But to add in white chocolate, it's even more delicious. Love the pictures and presentation.

    Blueberry pancakes and Dorie's muffins? Just sayin'

    Though, I have to say, that bundt cake would get scarfed up for breakfast around here!

    Oh that cake looks so good! I love the idea of white chocolate being melted into a better but I can never taste it and am always disappointed by that.

    It looks wonderful! Yeah, fruit sometimes has a mind of its own. I can never get it to stay were I want it to.

    I sure do agree. That bundt cake looks so yummy. I can't find huge blueberries anywhere! I'm actually thinking of growing a few of my own. Funny thing is, I don't like blueberries unless they are enclosed in a batter of some kind. Thanks for sharing...

    The other bundt cake you mentioned sounds wonderful,too, but I think I'd like this one as well.
