👩🍳 Instructions
1. Preheat & Prep
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease and flour a Bundt pan thoroughly (or use baking spray with flour).
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Cream Butter & Sugar
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 min).
-
Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla and lemon zest.
4. Add Wet & Dry
-
Mix in sour cream and milk until combined.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients just until the batter is smooth.
5. Fold in Berries
-
Toss the berries with 1 tbsp of flour (to help prevent sinking).
-
Gently fold them into the batter.
6. Bake
-
Pour batter evenly into prepared Bundt pan.
-
Bake for 50–60 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
-
Let cool in pan for 15 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

-
Whisk powdered sugar with lemon juice (start with 2 tbsp, add more for thinner glaze).
-
Drizzle over cooled cake.
📝 Tips:
-
If using frozen berries, do not thaw before adding — this keeps them from bleeding too much.
-
Garnish with extra berries or edible flowers for presentation.
-
Pairs wonderfully with whipped cream or a scoop of lemon sorbet!
