Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan thoroughly.
2
Drain the canned blueberries and set aside 1 cup of the syrup for the sauce. Make sure to pat the blueberries with a paper towel to remove excess liquid.
3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, yogurt (or sour cream), and eggs. Mix on low speed for 1 minute to combine the ingredients, then increase to medium speed for 2 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally to ensure an even consistency.
4
Gently fold the drained blueberries into the batter using a spatula, being careful not to break them.
5
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Carefully invert the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
7
Before serving, sprinkle the cooled cake with powdered sugar for a finishing touch. For an extra treat, serve with the homemade berry sauce and a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
8
To prepare the berry sauce: In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup of sugar with 1 tablespoon of cornstarch. Gradually add 1 cup of reserved blueberry syrup. If necessary, add water to reach 1 cup total liquid.
9
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens and becomes clear. Remove from heat and let cool before drizzling over the cake.
