    This Blueberry Almond Bundt Cake is a rich, dense cream cheese cake flavored with almond and loaded with fresh blueberries. It's kicked up a notch with a drizzle of lemon glaze & a sprinkling of almonds. Delicious for dessert or even breakfast!

    Last year when I visited my sister in Michigan she made me a fantastic dessert with fresh Michigan blueberries, a blueberry almond bundt cake. She and I have always loved to cook and she whips up some pretty amazing things in her kitchen. This was no exception.

    The cake was rich, dense, and sweet. The blueberries filled out the taste with their own innate flavor. Then she really kicked it up a notch and drizzled a lemon glaze over it then sprinkled almonds on top. Wow! I am so drooling as I write this.

    The really great thing about this super yummy cake is that it's easy to make and can be served for breakfast, brunch, or dessert.

    How to Make Blueberry Bundt Cake

    Prep steps 1-4 for bundt cake.

    First things first. Gather your ingredients and let the cream cheese and butter sit out and soften.

    1. Combine cream cheese, butter, sugar, and almond paste in a large mixing bowl and blend until smooth and creamy. (photo 1)
    2. Add eggs and beat until blended then add dry ingredients. Continue beating until well incorporated. (photo 2)
    3. Stir in blueberries. (photo 3)
    4. Pour into a well-greased and floured bundt pan and bake. (photo 4)

    Steps 5-8 baked cake and inverting on rack then applying lemon glaze.

    1. Remove the cake from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10-20 minutes. (photo 5)
    2. Invert onto a wire rack to cool completely. (photo 6)
    3. Mix lemon glaze and drizzle over top. (photo 7)
    4. Garnish with a sprinkling of almonds. And that's it! (photo 8)

    Doesn't this blueberry almond cake look gorgeous as a centerpiece on the table even before cutting it? Ah, but when you cut it, the beautiful moist and rich cake appears all studded with moist, plump blueberries.

    Now take a bite! The cake is moist and rich with an almond flavor that just explodes on the tongue. The blueberries burst with flavor and are the perfect foil to the tartness of the lemon glaze. It really is a show-stopper!

    If you give it a try, let me know how you like it so I can pass on the kudos to my sister. Thanks Ginger! Enjoy!
