Ingredients
  

Lemon Bundt Cake

  • 1 cup butter, softened to room temperature
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 ¾ cups all purpose flour

Lemon Bundt Cake

  • Add granulated sugar and lemon zest to the butter and mix until it is well combined.
  • Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk salt, baking powder, all purpose flour and cornstarch together. Set aside.
  • Mix lemon juice, milk and vanilla extract together.
  • Alternately, add the flour mixture and milk mixture to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the flour. Mix until everything is just combined.
  • Add in sour cream and mix until just combined.
  • Grease your bundt cake pan well and pour the batter evenly into the pan.
  • Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a cake tester comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool for about 10-15 minutes, then remove the cake from the bundt pan and allow it to finish cooling on a wire rack or plate.

Lemon Icing

  • Whisk powdered sugar, lemon juice and lemon zest together. Once combined, drizzle over the cooled cake.
  • Allow the icing to set, about 5 minutes, before serving.
  • Enjoy!
