Blueberry buttermilk bundt cake

This cake uses few ingredients and takes little time to create, with maximum effect produced when the pretty-shaped creation emerges golden brown from the oven. I didn't skinny-fy this recipe, I felt a little old-fashioned indulgence was acceptable for this week's baking rotation. This one was a definite crowd pleaser. Plus I just adore anything in a bundt cake tin, so gorgeous and easy to sneak a quick little slice.
