No Bake Nutella Balls (chocolate truffles)

Here’s a new favourite truffle I added to our Christmas cookie boxes this year. I’ll share with you how to make No Bake Nutella Balls covered in chocolate with a few sprinkles to make them look festive. These were so delicious. I had a hard time not eating all of them myself.

Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cake

Hello my friends! I feel like I am eating cake non-stop. In fact, this morning I even had cake for breakfast. My bundt pan is my new BFF. 

Here's another delicious recipe that I want to share with you.

The original recipe suggests letting the cake rest for only 20 minutes before turning out onto a serving dish. Well - I followed the instructions and my cake did not want to release. This cake is super moist and because it was still warm it gave me a hard time. You can't tell that the top and bottom were separate at one point because of the glaze. If you've got time, I recommend letting your cake cool completely before attempting to remove it from the pan. Alternately, you could bake this in the dish that you want to serve it in, and then you won't have to worry about turning it out at all.

Ingredients
For the Cake
  • 2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 3/4 cup sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk (or 3 tbsp lemon juice & top up with milk)
  • 1 1/4 cup blueberries (I used frozen)
  • 1 tablespoon all purpose flour
For the Glaze
  • 1 1/2 confectioners' sugar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • milk
  • fresh blueberries for decorating if desired
Directions
  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour your bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Set aside.
  3. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar for a few minutes until creamy.
  4. Beat in eggs, one at a time.
  5. Add lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla and mix until combined.
  6. On low speed, alternate the addition of the flour mixture and buttermilk, starting and ending with flour. Combine blueberries with flour, then stir into the batter by hand.
  7. Transfer the batter to your prepared pan and bake for 50 minutes or until a tester comes out clean.
  8. Cool for as long as possible in the pan before turning out onto a serving dish. You may need to run a knife along the edges to loosen the cake from the pan. Cool completely before glazing.
  9. To make the glaze; mix together confectioners' sugar, lemon juice and a few drops of milk. Add more milk until you reach a consistency which can be drizzled over the top of the cake.
