Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • ¾ cup (180ml) buttermilk, room temperature
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • Zest of 2 medium lemons
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp poppy seeds, lightly toasted
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh or frozen blueberries (do not thaw if frozen)
  • Optional glaze:
  • 1 cup (120g) powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1–2 tbsp milk or cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease mini bundt pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Toast poppy seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  4. In another bowl, whisk melted butter, buttermilk, eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  5. Slowly pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in toasted poppy seeds and blueberries gently.
  7. Spoon batter evenly into mini bundt cavities, filling about ¾ full. Wipe spills from edges.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, checking at 20 minutes with a toothpick for doneness.
  9. Cool cakes in pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a cooling rack.
  10. Optional: Whisk powdered sugar, lemon juice, and milk to a smooth glaze and drizzle over cooled cakes.

Notes

If batter is too thick, add a splash more buttermilk; if too thin, add a tablespoon of flour. Use frozen blueberries straight from freezer to prevent color bleed. Grease pan well to prevent sticking. Toast poppy seeds to enhance flavor.
