Yield: 16 servings (serving size: 1 slice)

Ingredients

  • Cake:
  • Cooking spray
  • 2  tablespoons  granulated sugar
  • 3  cups  all-purpose flour (about 13 1/2 ounces)
  • 1 1/2  teaspoons  baking powder
  • 1/2  teaspoon  baking soda
  • 1/4  teaspoon  salt
  • 1 3/4  cups  granulated sugar
  • 1/4  cup  butter, softened
  • 1  tablespoon  grated lemon rind
  • 4  large eggs
  • 1/2  teaspoon  vanilla extract
  • 1  (16-ounce) container reduced-fat sour cream
  • 2  cups  fresh blueberries

  • Glaze:
  • 1  cup  powdered sugar
  • 3  tablespoons  fresh lemon juice

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°.

To prepare cake, coat a 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray; dust with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Set aside.

Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, stirring with a whisk.

Place 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar, butter, and rind in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 2 minutes). Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition (about 4 minutes total). Beat in vanilla and sour cream. Add flour mixture; beat at medium speed just until combined. Gently fold in blueberries. Spoon batter into prepared pan. Bake at 350° for 1 hour or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan 15 minutes on a wire rack; remove from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.

To prepare glaze, combine powdered sugar and lemon juice, stirring well with a whisk. Drizzle over cooled cake.
