Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- ⅔ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 lemons zested
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Toppings
- Extra dusting of powdered sugar and splash of fresh heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan generously.
- Melt butter and set aside while you continue make the batter.
- In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and kosher salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat eggs until light and fluffy. Add in powdered sugar and beat again until fluffy.
- Gently fold in the flour mixture, while alternating with the heavy whipping cream. I did this in about 3 additions.
- Fold in the melted butter, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Pour batter into prepared bundt pan.
- Bake cake for 35-40 minutes, cool on rack in pan for 10 minutes. Invert onto a second rack or a cake plate and cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar and enjoy with fresh cream over the top!
Notes
- Use our guide on how to zest a lemon for best tips and tricks.
- Grease your pan thoroughly. I like to use homemade “goop” or baking spray that has flour already in it. Be generous, as there’s nothing worse than a cake that sticks.
- Use a good quality bundt pan. Norpro or Nordic Ware are my pans of choice, as I find they are great at keeping temperatures even and not browning too quickly (thinner, cheaper pans get TOO brown on outside)
- Let your cake cool in the pan about ten minutes before inverting it onto a cake plate. This allows the sides to release slightly on their own, and firm up so it doesn’t stick!
- Do not over beat as you alternate the flour and cream. Mix until blended, then repeat…I use a wooden spoon for this, not an electric mixer.
