Blueberry Lemon Bundt Cake (Egg-Free) image

I modified my Recipe #274969 to create a more summery version involving blueberries and lemon. The original recipe is my brother-in-law's favorite dessert, which I created especially for him to accommodate his egg allergy. Instead of eggs for binding, I use a cornstarch/water mixture. The cake turns out moist and does not crumble.

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 cup sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
2 tablespoons cornstarch
1 tablespoon water
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons lemon extract (or 2 tbs. lemon juice)
1 1/2 cups blueberries, whole (fresh or frozen)
1 cup powdered sugar
2 -3 tablespoons lemon juice (or as much as required for desired texture)
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 cup blueberries, whole (fresh or thawed) (optional)

Steps:

  • Cake:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Prepare a 10-cup bundt pan by spraying with cooking oil and lightly dusting with flour.
  • Cream sugar and butter. Wisk together cornstarch and water mixture and cream into sugar/butter mixture. Stir in milk and lemon extract/juice.
  • Combine dry ingredients in a separate bowl and slowly add into wet mixture, stirring until thoroughly combined.
  • Fold blueberries into the batter.
  • Spoon batter evenly into bundt pan, being careful not to brush off too much of the flour dusting.
  • Bake for 45 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into cake comes out clean.
  • Cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes and turn out onto a cake pedistal or plate.
  • Glaze:.
  • Place powdered sugar in a small bowl.
  • Stir in lemon juice one tablespoon at a time until preferred glaze texture is obtained.
  • Spoon evenly over warm cake.
  • Garnish:
  • I sprinkled lemon zest evenly over the freshly-glazed cake.
  • I also placed blueberries into the center of the cake and around the base of the cake plate for an eye-catching presentation.
