Instructions

Limoncello bundt cake (Note 1):

  1. Preheat the oven to 360°F/ 180°C.
  2. Prepare the bundt cake form. If using a silicone bundt pan, no preparation is necessary. If using a regular non-stick bundt pan, butter it generously, including all the nooks and crannies of the pan. Make sure every inch of the pan is well-greased. Coat the pan with flour. Take about ¼ cup or so of flour, tip it into the pan, and start shaking and turning the bundt pan so that the flour coats the insides of the pan, including all the nooks and crannies as well. Do this over the kitchen sink to avoid a mess.
  3. Make the batter: Place the eggs and powdered sugar in a bowl. Beat well until light and creamy. Add the vanilla extract and mix in as well. Alternatively and slowly start adding the oil and the limoncello, beating well after each addition.5 eggs + 2½ cups powdered sugar/ 250 g + 1 cup neutral-tasting oil/ 250 ml + 1 cup Crema di limoncello/ 250 ml + 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  4. Add dry ingredients: Mix the flour, cornstarch, and baking powder in another bowl. Sieve the flour mixture over the eggs and incorporate them carefully. 1 cup all-purpose flour/ 125 g + 1 cup cornstarch/ 125 g + 3 teaspoons baking powder
  5. Bake limoncello cake: Pour the batter into the pan and bake for about 1 hour or until a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean.
  6. Cool bundt cake: Leave the cake in the pan for about 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool completely.

Limoncello glaze:

  1. Combine: Place the powdered sugar, limoncello, and fresh lemon juice in a small bowl. Stir well until the mixture is smooth. Adjust the consistency with either more powdered sugar (if too runny) or more limoncello/ lemon juice (if too thick). The glaze should be pourable but still stay mostly put on your cake when you pour it.1 cup powdered sugar/ 100 g + 3 tablespoons Crema di limoncello + 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  2. Glaze cake: Place the wire rack with the limoncello cake onto a baking sheet so that the excess glaze can ooze onto the tray. Drizzle the glaze over the cake and garnish it with lemon zest.zest of 1 lemon
