We traveled the next day to provide my coworkers with a snack to power through all the work that had built up *StackedUp over the long weekend. I thought it turned out beautifully but it sure could've used icing &MOREBLUEBERRIES! Here is the website with the recipe: http://www.yourpartytunedup.com/jewish-blueberry-sour-cream-bundt/

After tasting this treat I wish I would have went with an icing for a little more sweet! Also, maybe waiting until blueberries are in season for a more blueberry flavor couldn't hurt. However, it was a good breakfast treat!
