Wild Blueberry Bundt Cake with Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting
Disclosure: I was invited on a sponsored trip to view the Wild Blueberry barrens in Maine. I was not compensated for my time nor asked to write this post. I just wanted to share my new found Wild Blueberry love with my favorite friends, that’s you!
Ever had a Nothing bundt Cake?
You know, the bakery chain that sells those delicious and perfectly frosted mini, regular and stacked bundt cake delights!
Well, if you haven’t, don’t fret my friends. Today I’m showing you how you can create those magical beauties in the comfort of your own home in just a few steps.
Are you ready?
Alright, first things first, I want to make sure you know this is not your ordinary blueberry bundt cake!
Why?
Because it’s a Wild Blueberry Bundt Cake of course!
DYK there’s actually a difference between a blueberry you’d find fresh in most traditional markets and fresh frozen wild blueberries?
Yep, case and point, not all “berries” are created equal, they even have their own personalities!
A few fun facts on Wild Blueberries:
- They contain twice the antioxidant capacity of traditional blueberries on the market.
- They’re half the size of most blueberries, but, they pack a mighty punch!
- In most markets (unless if you live in Maine, of course!) you’ll find them in the freezer section labeled as “Wild Blueberries”. Since they’re grown in their natural habitat in Maine and Canada, they won’t make it out West in tip top shape without being flash frozen.
- They taste INCREDIBLE!
Alright, I could go on and on about these gems, but instead, I’ll let you explore them on your own here!
Now, back to this delicious Wild Blueberry Bundt Cake!
For those who don’t have a heck of a lot of time, you’ll enjoy the #shawkitchen hack I used here… a boxed blueberry muffin mix!
In fact, I used the Kodiak Cakes latest whole grain Blueberry Lemon Mix and amped up the nutrition with a cup full of those delicious wild blueberries and a zesty lemon frosting. While I haven’t tried this with other brands, I would recommend using a 14 ounce container of a similar whole grain muffin mix for added nutrition!
Turn up that music and get baking (in no time flat) with this super simple, absolutely delicious bundt cake recipe!
And a double bonus, if you bring this into work tomorrow, you’re office will thank you for stopping at Nothing bundt Cakes and sing your praises when you tell them, nope, it’s homemade! #justsaying
