Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cake

Holy Moses. This is amazing. Bright and lemon-y with juicy bursts of blueberries! I'm sort of on a lemon kick lately, but I saw a picture of a blueberry bundt cake and I've been obsessing ever since. So.... TA-DA! This is the ultimate summer time cake. Perfect for a picnic or even breakfast :)
