There’s something spectacular about a bowl of fresh summer blueberries. In the summer, I find myself always buying blueberries, and sometimes I have an abundance. I recently inherited the cutest mini bundt pan that is a perfect size for this cake. Although the bundt pan is technically normal volume, it’s smaller in circumference and deeper, so a standard cake fits in the pan.

Why You’ll Love This Gluten Free Blueberry Bundt Cake:
- Soft, moist crumb with the perfect amount of bounce
- Juicy pockets of blueberries in every bite
- Hints of vanilla and citrus to balance the sweetness
- Naturally dairy free and made with wholesome, real ingredients
- Perfect for brunch, summer gatherings, or just because

Let’s Talk Ingredients:
- Fresh blueberries – the sweeter, the better
- Gluten-free flour blend – I use Bobs Red Mill 1:1
- Dairy Free milk – for moisture and richness without dairy
- Vegan butter – I typically use earth balance
- Eggs – for structure and lift
- Vanilla extract – the best
Tips for Baking with Fresh Blueberries
- Toss them in a little GF flour before folding into the batter. It keeps them from sinking to the bottom.
- Don’t overmix! That’s the fastest way to lose the light texture.
- Use fresh if possible – if you want to use frozen, let them fully thaw

Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup of vegan butter
- 1 1/4 cups of granulated sugar
- 2 tsp of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cups of almond milk
- 2 tsp of baking powder
- 2 1/4 cups of gluten-free flour (I use Bob’s Red Mill 1:1)
- 1 lb of strawberries
- 1 tbsb of turbinado sugar
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350*f, and grease your bundt pan thoroughly. Cut a circle out of parchment and place on the greased pan
- Wash and dry your strawberries, and cut off the tops.
- Slice the strawberries in half from the top (where the green top was), to the pointy bottom
- Place the strawberries flat side down in the baking pan and sprinkle evenly with turbinado sugar
- In a bowl using the paddle attachment or a hand mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until light in color and fluffy (about 3 minutes on medium)
- Add the vanilla extract, baking powder, almond milk and egg to the butter mixture and beat until combined — the batter will separate
- Add the flour 1/2 cup at a time to bring the batter back together
- In your prepared bundt pan, pour the batter over the strawberries in a smooth layer
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until the batter is cooked through
- Let it cool completely before you flip the pan
