Easy White Chocolate Blueberry Pound Cake Recipe

I love baking experiments. It gives me the creative license to be fearless in the kitchen. In doing so, I’ve come up with several signature pound cakes. This white chocolate blueberry pound cake is the result of one such experiment and it’s a real beauty. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. This recipe combines the flavors of glorious blueberries with the subtle creamy undertones of white chocolate. They pair beautifully, and being a professional “drizzler” I had to top it off with a decadent white chocolate ganache.

How to Make the Best White Chocolate Blueberry Pound Cake Recipe

Besides taste and ease of preparation, pound cakes freeze extremely well making them ideal for make-ahead baking. When doing so, make certain you cool the cake completely before wrapping in freezer wrap. You can freeze pound cake in slices for single serving pieces, the entire cake in half or freeze it whole. It all depends on how you plan on serving it.

• Ingredients you’ll need to make homemade White Chocolate Blueberry Pound Cake: All purpose flour, one package instant white chocolate pudding mix, salt, granulated sugar, butter, vanilla and almond extract, large eggs, buttermilk, fresh blueberries and white chocolate baking chips.
• For the White Chocolate Ganache to drizzle on top: White chocolate chips and heavy cream.
• Kitchen gadgets you’ll need: A hand mixer or a stand mixer, a Bundt pan, measuring cups and spoons mixing bowls and a large silicone spatula or spoon for spreading it into the Bundt pan for baking.
• This cake should be made in at least a 12 cup Bundt pan to hold the generous batter and give it room to rise without spilling over.
• It’s important to thoroughly wash and pick over the blueberries prior to adding them to the cake batter. They also should be dry. Remove any blueberries that are soft or bruised.
• The white chocolate chips melt while the cake is baking enhancing the flavor. The flavor is subtle but decadent.
• Store leftover White Chocolate Blueberry Pound Cake in an airtight container for up to one week chilled in the refrigrator.
• This cake can also be baked, cooled and frozen for up to 2 months. When doing so, wait to add the glaze until just before serving. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

To Glaze or Not to Glaze Pound Cake

I love this blueberry pound cake with a light glaze but it doesn’t have to be glazed to be delicious. You can serve it as is, or with a light dusting of powdered sugar instead, the choice is yours. when preparing a cake specifically to freeze, it’s best to freeze the cake without the glaze and then drizzle the cake after thawing and just before serving for the best results.
