No dessert screams spring to me like a lemon dessert. They just feel light and fresh, just like spring!

This Meyer Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cake is extra special because it uses meyer lemons, a citrus fruit that’s only around late winter and spring.

What Is A Meyer Lemon

Meyer lemons are a cross between a regular lemon and a mandarin orange. They tend to be darker in color than regular lemons and also sweeter.

Unlike regular lemons, meyer lemons are only available for a few months out of the year. You’re most likely to find them from December – May each year.

Where To Buy Meyer Lemons

Meyer lemons have become more readily available in recent years. I’ve found them at Walmart, Kroger, HEB, basically any major grocery store.

If you’re not having luck, try Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, or Sprouts. I’ve seen them at all of those places as well.

Can You Use Regular Lemons

If you can’t find meyer lemons (or they aren’t in season), you can definitely use regular lemons. The cake will just have a more classic lemon flavor.

You can also use oranges instead! Just follow the instructions but substitute orange zest and juice for all the meyer lemon zest and juice.

Can You Freeze Bundt Cake?

You can definitely freeze this cake! However, I would leave the frosting off if you plan on freezing it. Cream cheese doesn’t always hold up well once frozen and defrosted.

To freeze, I would slice into individual slices and then wrap each slice in plastic wrap. From there, you can put the slices together in a freezer ziploc bag (like my favorite reusable freezer bags!) or other freezer-safe container.
