Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (315g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (225g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 ½ cups (300g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup (60ml) bourbon
  • 1 cup (240ml) buttermilk, room temperature
  • 2 cups (300g) fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar, sifted
  • 2 tablespoons (30ml) whole milk or cream
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the bundt pan thoroughly with butter or non-stick spray, then dust with flour.
  2. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened butter and sugar with a mixer until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Beat in eggs one at a time, fully incorporating each before adding the next. Stir in vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, mix bourbon and buttermilk.
  6. With mixer on low speed, add the flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the bourbon-buttermilk mixture, starting and ending with flour. Mix just until combined.
  7. Gently fold fresh blueberries into the batter using a rubber spatula, being careful not to break the berries.
  8. Pour batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
  9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  10. Cool the cake in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack and cool completely (about 1 hour).
  11. Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract in a small bowl until smooth to make the glaze.
  12. Drizzle the vanilla glaze over the cooled cake and let it set for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Toss blueberries with a teaspoon of flour before folding to prevent sinking. Use room temperature ingredients for best texture. Allow cake to cool completely before glazing to prevent glaze from melting. Start checking cake doneness at 50 minutes to avoid overbaking.
