Instructions

Cake

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 10-cup bundt pan generously with baking spray and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy (about 2–3 minutes).
  • Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla extract with one of the eggs.
  • Mix in the lemon zest and fresh lemon juice.
  • Alternately add the dry ingredients and sour cream, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined. Do not overmix.
  • Toss the blueberries with the remaining 1 tablespoon of flour. Gently fold them into the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully invert onto a wire rack. Cool completely before adding ganache.

Ganache

  • Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Do not boil.
  • Remove from heat and pour over white chocolate chips. Let sit for 2–3 minutes.
  • Whisk until smooth and creamy.
  • Stir in lemon zest.
  • Drizzle over completely cooled cake. Allow ganache to set slightly before slicing.
