Lemon Bundt Cake (Super Easy Recipe)
Description
Lemon Bundt Cake (Super Easy Recipe) brings together classic cake ingredients with fresh lemon zest and juice to create a moist and flavorful cake baked in a bundt pan. The batter is made by creaming butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, then incorporating eggs one at a time. Dry ingredients are sifted to ensure even texture and combined with buttermilk and lemon, resulting in a tender crumb after baking.
The cake is baked at 350°F in a thoroughly greased bundt pan to prevent sticking. Once cooled, it is topped with a simple glaze made from powdered sugar, lemon juice, and zest, which adds a subtle sweetness and enhances the lemon flavor.
This cake is suitable as a sweet snack or dessert and can be served sliced plain or with a light accompaniment like whipped cream or fresh berries. Its lemon flavor and moist texture come from the balanced use of lemon juice and buttermilk.
Ingredients
For the Bundt Cake
- 1 ½ cup butter softened
- 2 ½ cups sugar granulated white
- 4 egg large
- 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoons baking soda
- 1 cup buttermilk low fat
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Glaze
- 1 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Get prepped
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Thoroughly grease a bundt pan with baking spray. Don’t be shy with the spray – you want to do a very good job of coating the entire surface of the pan to prevent sticking as you remove from the pan.
Make the cake batter
- In an electric mixer with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar together on high speed until pale, light and fluffy. You may need to scrape the sides of the mixing bowl down with a spatula to ensure everything is mixed in. It should not be gritty at all and should take about 8-10 minutes.
- Decrease to medium speed. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition to incorporate fully before adding the next one.
- Sift the flour, salt and baking soda together in a small bowl.
- With the mixer on low speed, alternate adding the flour and buttermilk in 1/2 cup additions.
- Add the lemon juice and zest and mix well.
- Pour batter into the prepared bundt.
Bake
- Bake at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F and bake for 60 minutes.
- Check doneness using a toothpick inserted into the cake. If it comes out clean – it’s done! If not, bake for 5 more minutes until it does (up to about 75 minutes total time.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, before turning out to a wire rack to cool completely. Loosen the cake by gently shaking the pan.
Lemon Glaze
- Mix the powdered sugar, lemon juice and zest in a bowl.
- Drizzle over cooled cake.
- Devour.
