Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the Pan
Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C).
Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt pan, making sure every groove is coated to prevent sticking.
2. Make the Cake Batter
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, vegetable oil, and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Mix in the vanilla extract and sour cream.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, until a smooth batter forms.
3. Bake
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan.
Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove air bubbles.
Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before turning it out onto a wire rack.
This elegant cake is perfect for holiday entertaining and special celebrations.
4. Make the Blueberry Sauce
While the cake cools, combine the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Mix the cornstarch with the water to create a slurry.
Stir the slurry into the blueberries and continue cooking for another 2–3 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
Allow the sauce to cool slightly.
5. Serve
Transfer the cooled cake to a serving platter.
Spoon the blueberry sauce generously over each slice or drizzle it over the entire cake before serving.
Top with powdered sugar, fresh blueberries, or whipped cream if desired.
This cake is also great for meal prep because it stays moist for several days.

Pro Tips & Variations
For the smoothest batter, allow the cream cheese, butter, eggs, and sour cream to reach room temperature before mixing. This helps create a velvety texture and prevents lumps in the batter. Avoid overmixing once the flour is added, as this can make the cake dense instead of soft and tender. Fresh blueberries provide the brightest flavor, but frozen blueberries work equally well for the homemade sauce.
If you’re looking for healthy substitutions, use reduced-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a lighter version. Budget-friendly tips include using frozen blueberries when they’re out of season, as they produce an equally delicious sauce at a lower cost. This recipe is ideal for cooking for beginners because the batter comes together easily with common baking techniques. Meal prep ideas include baking the cake a day ahead and storing the blueberry sauce separately until serving. If you’re looking for quick dessert ideas, you can also top each slice with vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an elegant restaurant-style presentation.
