Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 cup Unsalted butter
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Milk
• 2 tablespoons Lemon zest
• 0.25 cup Lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.5 cups Powdered sugar (for the glaze)
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice (for the glaze)
• 1 tablespoon Milk (for the glaze)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 10-inch Bundt pan thoroughly and lightly flour it to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Mix in the lemon zest and 1/4 cup of lemon juice.

Step 6

On low speed, mix in the dry ingredients alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.

Step 7

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 15 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Once the cake is fully cooled, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon of milk until smooth and pourable.

Step 11

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake, letting it run down the sides. Allow the glaze to set for about 20 minutes before serving.

Step 12

Slice and enjoy your Easy Lemon Bundt Cake!
