Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 3 eggs, at room temperature
- 1 cup + 1 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- ¾ cup almond flour
- 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
Wet Ingredients:
- 8 tablespoons salted butter, softened
- ½ cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup + 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
Topping and Glaze Ingredients:
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅔ cup powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 3 tablespoons blueberry jam
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Heat the oven and prepare the baking vessel by greasing a 9-inch bundt or loaf pan with butter.
- Create a creamy base by whipping butter with sugar and lemon zest until light and fluffy.
- Incorporate sour cream and vanilla extract, mixing until the mixture becomes silky and uniform.
- Gently introduce eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully integrated before adding the next.
- Combine dry ingredients including flour, almond flour, baking powder, and salt, carefully folding them into the wet mixture without overmixing.
- Coat fresh blueberries in a light dusting of flour to prevent sinking, then delicately fold them into the batter.
- Prepare the streusel by blending the ingredients until they form a crumbly texture.
- Layer the cake by spreading half the batter in the pan, creating swirls of jam and sprinkling half the streusel across the surface.
- Complete the layering with remaining batter, adding more jam swirls and topping with the rest of the streusel and an optional sugar sprinkle.
- Bake until a testing skewer emerges clean, approximately 55-60 minutes.
- Craft a glossy glaze by whisking powdered sugar with lemon juice and honey until smooth and drizzling consistency is achieved.
- Allow the cake to cool completely before adorning with the glaze, then slice and serve.
Notes
- Prevent blueberries from sinking by coating them lightly in flour before folding into the batter, ensuring even distribution throughout the cake.
- Achieve a tender crumb by mixing wet and dry ingredients just until combined, avoiding overmixing which can lead to a tough texture.
- Customize the cake by swapping blueberries with raspberries, strawberries, or a mix of seasonal berries for varied flavor profiles.
