Ingredients

  • 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour

  • 3 teaspoons baking powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar

  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

  • 4 eggs

  • 1 cup milk

  • 1/2 cup sour cream

  • 1/2 cup lemon juice

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • Lemon Glaze
  • 1 2/3 cups powdered sugar

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon milk

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest, plus more for garnish (optional)

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set bowl aside.
  • Using a stand mixer, cream together sugar, butter, and lemon zest on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Reduce mixer speed to low and blend in eggs, one at a time.
  • Turn off mixer and add the dry ingredients, milk, lemon juice, sour cream, and vanilla. Return mixer to medium speed and mix until ingredients are just combined, about 2-3 minutes. Turn off mixer and use a spatula to scrape sides of bowl, mixing in any wayward ingredients.
  • Generously grease a 10-inch bundt cake pan with baking spray, then pour in cake batter. Use a spatula to gently smooth out top into an even layer.
  • Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean (no crumbs).
  • Remove cake from oven and allow to cool, still in bundt cake pan, for 20-30 minutes. Once cool, remove cake from bundt pan and allow cake to finish cooling completely on a wire cooling rack.
  • For the Lemon Glaze
  • In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, milk, and lemon zest until smooth.
  • If you’d like glaze to be thinner, add a small splash of lemon juice or milk until desired consistency is reached. If you’d like glaze to be thicker, add 1 tablespoon powdered sugar at a time until glaze is thick enough.
  • Putting it All Together
  • Transfer cake to a serving plate, then drizzle lemon glaze on top. Garnish with more lemon zest, if desired.
  • Serve as desired.
