Ingredients

·      1 box white cake mix (I used Betty Crocker)

·      3 eggs (at room temperature)

·      1/2 cup oil

·      3/4 cup full fat yogurt

·      1/2 cup buttermilk (see notes for homemade buttermilk)

·      2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

·      1 1/2 cup blueberries (I used fresh, but frozen can be used too)

·      3 oz cream cheese (softened)

·      1 tablespoon butter (softened)

·      2 cups powdered sugar

·      2 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

Instructions

1.   Preheat oven to 350 F (176 C) and prepare a 12 cup bundt pan by spraying it with oil and dusting it with flour. 

2.   Place the cake mix into a medium bowl and set aside.

3.   In another bowl combine the eggs, oil, yogurt, buttermilk and lemon juice. Using a hand mixer beat until fully incorporated.

4.   Add the cake mix and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Gently fold in the blueberries by hand.

5.   Transfer cake batter to the bundt pan, and bake for about 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. 

6.   Remove the cake and run a sharp knife around all the edges of the bundt pan. Let the cake cool for 15-20 minutes until removing from the bundt pan. 

7.   While the cake is cooling, prepare the cream cheese icing. Place cream cheese and butter in a mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.

8.   Add the powdered sugar and lemon juice, and beat for 2-3 minutes, until the icing is light and fluffy.

9.   Drizzle cake with cream cheese icing, and decorate with fresh blueberries and lemon slices.

Recipe Notes

Homemade Buttermilk: Add 1/2 tablespoon of white vinegar to 1/2 cup of milk and mix. Let stand for a few minutes, until the milk has curdled in appearance. Your homemade buttermilk is ready to use.
