BLUEBERRIES
If someone were to ask me what some of my favorite all-natural foods are, blueberries would be at the very top of the list.
Due to my love of all things blueberry, I also love Quick Gluten-Free Blueberry Muffins and Blueberry Topped Cheesecake recipes.

BUNDT CAKE
This Blueberry Walnut Bundt Cake recipe starts by combining melted butter, brown sugar, a little flour, and lots of walnuts! Place the mixture into the bottom of a well-greased bundt pan.
The batter is nice and dense and loaded with fresh blueberries. Spoon the batter over the walnuts and bake at 425 degrees F for 45 to 55 minutes.
When the cake has finished baking and cooled a bit, flip the bundt pan over onto a serving plate. A pretty glass serving cake platter creates a lovely presentation and touch of elegance.
For the final touch, drizzle homemade icing over the top of the Blueberry Walnut Bundt Cake while it is still warm. The cake will soak up the icing and will add a touch of sweetness to every bite. Next, garnish with whole walnuts and serve.
True to its name, the cake is loaded with blueberries and topped with chopped and whole walnuts.
