Instructions
Make the cake:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 10-inch (10-cup) bundt cake pan.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter, cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and egg white, one at a time, beating well between each addition.
- Add the lemon zest and vanilla extract and beat until combined.
- Remove 2 tablespoons of flour from the 3 cups and add it to a small bowl along with the blueberries. Toss them together until the blueberries are well-coated in the flour then set them aside.
- Sift together the remaining flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Alternately add the dry ingredients and the sour cream to the batter, beating between each addition. Using a spatula, fold in the blueberries then transfer the batter to the prepared cake pan. Bake the cake for 50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before inverting it onto a baking rack to cool completely. While the cake cools, prepare the glaze.
Make the glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the sifted confectioners' sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest until smooth.
