Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients:

  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 2 teaspoons baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (room temp)

  • 1¾ cups granulated sugar

  • 4 large eggs

  • ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Lemon Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • ½ teaspoon lemon zest

  • Optional: 1 tablespoon milk for thinner glaze


Instructions

  1. Prep the oven and pan:
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10–12 cup bundt pan thoroughly with butter or baking spray.

  2. Mix dry ingredients:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. Cream butter and sugar:
    In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3–4 minutes.

  4. Add eggs and flavor:
    Beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in lemon juice, zest, and vanilla.

  5. Combine wet and dry:
    Add flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with sour cream. Mix gently until just combined.

  6. Pour and bake:
    Spoon batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.

  7. Cool and release:
    Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.

  8. Glaze and serve:
    Mix glaze ingredients until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake. Slice and enjoy!
