krusteaz blueberry muffin mix bundt cake
This really moist, delicious cake with vanilla glaze was an adaptation of the Krusteaz blueberry muffin mix. I wanted the flavor of their muffins, but as a Bundt cake. Here is my adaptation, and it turned out great.

- 1/4 cup sour cream

How To Make krusteaz blueberry muffin mix bundt cake
-
Step 1Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Step 2Grease and lightly flour a 10-12 cup Bundt pan, or use a baking spray with flour (like Baker’s Joy) to ensure easy release.
-
Step 3In a large bowl, combine the muffin mix, eggs, oil, water (or milk), and optional sour cream, vanilla extract. Stir until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the cake tender.
-
Step 4Drain canned blueberries. Gently fold them into the batter to distribute evenly.
-
Step 5Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. If using one package, the batter will fill a standard bundt pan about halfway, which is fine for a smaller cake.
-
Step 6Bake at 350°F for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
-
Step 7Check early to avoid overbaking, as Bundt cakes can dry out. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
-
Step 8Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, invert onto a wire rack to cool completely before glazing. Bundt cakes need to cool slightly to hold their shape, but not so long that they stick to the pan.
-
Step 9In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
-
Step 10If using milk, start with 1 Tbsp and add up to 2 Tbsp total, 1/2 tsp at a time, until the glaze is thick but pourable. If using heavy cream, start with 3 Tbsp and add up to 4 Tbsp total, 1/2 tsp at a time, to reach the same thick but pourable consistency. The glaze should drizzle slowly off a spoon, holding its shape briefly before spreading
-
Step 11Place the cooled Bundt cake on a wire rack over a baking sheet (to catch drips).
-
Step 12Drizzle the glaze over the top, letting it run down the sides naturally. Use a spoon or small whisk for control. For a thicker glaze, let the first layer set for 10 minutes, then apply a second layer.
-
Step 13Allow the glaze to set for 15-20 minutes before slicing. The glaze will form a slightly firm, glossy finish.
