BLUEBERRY BANANA BUNDT CAKE WITH BLUEBERRY BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

Steps:

• PREPARE THE FROSTING: Combine blueberries and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring them constantly and smashing them as you stir. In about 10 minutes you will have a dark blueberry reduction.
• Take the blueberry reduction and strain it through a fine mesh strainer. You will need to push it through, using a scraping motion to get all of it through. Discard the large chunks left in the strainer and cool the puree completely before moving on to the next step.
• Place the softened butter in the bowl of your mixer. Beat the butter on medium high for 2 minutes to get it nice and smooth. Add in 1/4 cup blueberry puree and beat again for 1 minute.
• Add in the powdered sugar one cup at a time on low speed. After the sugar is all mixed in, add in the cream and the salt and beat the frosting on high for 2 minutes more. The frosting will be nice and fluffy!
• PREPARE THE CAKE: Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and spray your bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray. Set aside.
• Add ripe bananas to a small bowl and "mash" them with your mixer. Add in eggs, vanilla and yogurt and mix to combine.
• In another bowl, cream together softened butter with both the granulated sugar and the brown sugar. Add banana mixture to sugar mixture and mix well.
• Toss blueberries with flour set aside.
• Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt into another bowl. Add flour mixture to wet mixture little by little mixing to combine.
• Fold in floured blueberries by hand. Pour into the prepared bundt cake pan.
• Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool slightly before inverting cake onto a plate.
• PREPARE GLAZE: mix powdered sugar, vanilla and milk together. Drizzle over warm cake. Cool.
• Pipe the frosting onto the cake using a cake decorator or a gallon sized ziplock bag with the corner cut off.
• Garnish with fresh blueberries.
• Keep any uneaten cake in the refrigerator.
