How To Make lemon bundt cake

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 10-inch Bundt pan with non-stick baking spray.

Step 2

Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
Step 3

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.
Step 4

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.
Step 5

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.
Step 6

Whisk the powdered sugar, butter, lemon juice, and salt in a small bowl. Adjust the amount of lemon juice to the desired consistency.
Step 7

Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cake.
