Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/2 cups cake flour, sifted, more for dusting the pan
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup butter or 2 sticks, softened
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup limoncello or juice of one lemon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or whole milk
  • 1 cup blueberries

FOR THE GLAZE

  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, add 1/2 cup more of the powdered sugar for a thicker consistency

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease a bundt cake pan.
  • In a bowl, sift cake flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another bowl, add sugar and butter, cream until fluffy and light in color. Make sure to scrape the side of the bowl. Add the eggs one at a time, continue mixing until well incorporated.
  • Add the limoncello, vanilla, lemon zest, and sour cream, mix until well combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients gradually. Alternately add dry ingredients and cream. Add them a third at a time. Continue mixing at a low speed, do not overbeat. It's ok if you see bits of flour, just use the spatula to carefully mix the batter until well incorporated.
  • Fold in half of the blueberries into the batter. Pour half of the batter into the bundt cake pan, then add the rest of the blueberries. Pour the rest of the batter, tap the pan two times on a flat surface to eliminate air pockets.
  • Bake for 35-40 minutes or until the toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely before icing.

FOR THE GLAZE

  • In a bowl, combine all glaze ingredients.
  • Mix until the powdered sugar completely dissolved.
  • Use a spoon to drizzle the glaze on top of the bundt cake. Or fill a decorating bag with the glaze, then cut the tip and drizzle on the cake.
  • Decorate with mixed berries, dust with powdered sugar, and serve.
