Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously spray a fluted tube pan (such as a Bundt pan) with cooking spray to ensure the cake releases cleanly. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large mixing bowl, combine all but 1 tablespoon of the lemon cake mix with the milk, softened Neufchatel cheese, fresh lemon juice, room temperature eggs, and lemon zest. Using an electric mixer, beat the ingredients together for 3 minutes until well combined and smooth. (5 minutes)

03

Step

In a separate small bowl, gently toss the blueberries with the reserved 1 tablespoon of cake mix. This will help prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake during baking. Fold the coated blueberries into the cake batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed. Carefully pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Once baked, place the Bundt pan on a wire rack and allow the cake to cool completely in the pan. This usually takes about 30 minutes. (75 minutes)

05

Step

While the cake is cooling, prepare the lemon glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Add more lemon juice, a teaspoon at a time, until the glaze reaches your desired consistency – it should be thick enough to coat the cake but thin enough to drizzle. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Once the cake is completely cooled, run a thin table knife or spatula around the edges of the pan to gently loosen the cake. Invert the cake carefully onto a serving plate. Slowly and evenly drizzle the lemon glaze over the top of the cake, allowing it to cascade down the sides. Let the glaze set for a few minutes before serving. (5 minutes)

For an extra burst of lemon flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of lemon extract to the batter.
If using frozen blueberries, do not thaw them before tossing with the cake mix. This prevents them from bleeding into the batter.
To ensure the Neufchatel cheese blends smoothly, make sure it is fully softened before adding it to the batter.
The glaze can be customized with a pinch of lemon zest for added visual appeal and flavor.

    I used greek yogurt instead of Neufchatel cheese since that's what I had, and it turned out great!

    The glaze was the perfect touch. Not too sweet, just right.

    My blueberries sank to the bottom, but it still tasted great. I'll try the tip about tossing them with flour next time.
