Ingredients

Lemon Bundt Cake

  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoon s lemon zest
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • teaspoons vanilla extract
  • cup whole milk
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice

Lemon Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter
  • 2-4 tablespoons lemon juice
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 10-inch bundt pan with non-stick baking spray.
  • Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Using a stand mixer with a paddle attachment, cream the butter, granulated sugar, and lemon zest until light and fluffy. Reduce the speed to stir and add the eggs one at a time, mixing each until mostly incorporated before adding the next.
  • With the mixer on low, beat in the vanilla extract, milk, sour cream, and lemon juice, alternating with the flour mixture. Scrape down the bowl and beater when needed.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool the cake on a wire rack for 15 minutes before inverting the cake onto a serving plate.
  • Whisk the powdered sugar, butter, lemon juice, and salt in a small bowl. Adjust the amount of lemon juice to the desired consistency.
  • Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cake.

Notes

Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
