Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F and grease a 25cm/10in bundt cake pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients.
  3. Add the wet ingredients then whisk into the dry. The batter will be thick and creamy.
  4. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  5. Place into the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
  6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before turning out of the pan and allowing to cool completely on a wire rack.
  7. To make the glaze, whisk together the sugar and lemon juice. Whisk in the milk, one tablespoon at a time until the glaze is the consistency you like. Pour over the cooled cake. I set the wire rack over a piece of parchment to catch the glaze that runs off. Allow to set then slice and serve.
