Ingredients
- 2 cups cake flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup caster sugar
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ cup canola oil
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 eggs
For the glaze
- 1½ cups icing sugar / powdered sugar
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- ¼ cup milk You might not need to add any milk, depending on the consistency of your icing once the lemon juice has been added.
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F and grease a 25cm/10in bundt cake pan.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients.
- Add the wet ingredients then whisk into the dry. The batter will be thick and creamy.
- Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan.
- Place into the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
- 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.
- 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.
