What you’ll need to make gluten free blueberry bundt cake:
- butter
- lemons
- eggs
- coconut sugar
- blanched almond flour
- baking powder
- salt
- fresh blueberries
What you’ll need to make this almond flour blueberry cake:
- butter
- lemon
- agave nectar (honey or maple syrup also works)
- fresh blueberries
How to make gluten free bundt cake:
First, melt the butter on your stovetop or in the microwave for 20 seconds until softened. It’s ok if it melts completely but ideally you want it to be softened and just partially melted.
Add the butter to a large bowl along with the zest of two lemons. Then, cut those lemons in half and juice the lemons right into the bowl. Add the eggs and coconut sugar and whisk until combined.
Add the almond flour to the bowl along with the baking powder and salt. I love using blanched almond flour because not only is it more fine than an almond meal, but it also has a prettier pastry color. Whisk until all the dry ingredients are incorporated into the wet ingredients.
Fold in the blueberries. Thoroughly grease your bundt pan with butter. Pour the cake batter into the pan and use a rubber spatula to spread it out evenly. Bake for 40 minutes until golden brown on the top and it bounces back when you press in the center.
Allow the cake to cool for 10 – 15 minutes before turning it over onto a plate, cooling rack, or cake stand.
While the cake is cooling, make your glaze. Place the butter, lemon juice, agave nectar, vanilla, and blueberries in a small saucepan over medium0high heat, whisking frequently. The glaze will reduce in about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and pour into a small pourable container such as a little creamer pitcher.
Drizzle the cake right before you cut into a serve, reserving some so guests can add additional glaze to their slice if desired.

Can I use regular sugar?
Yes – you can usually sub coconut sugar for brown sugar. Though, I haven’t tested it so I can’t tell you for sure. Let me know how you make out!! xo
