Ingredients

• 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 4 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons lemon zest
• 0.25 cups fresh lemon juice
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 cup powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (for glaze)
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan, making sure to coat all crevices to prevent sticking.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sugar with an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice.

Step 5

Gradually alternate adding the dry ingredients and the buttermilk to the wet mixture. Start and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then, invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 10

Once the cake has fully cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top, letting it cascade down the sides. Sprinkle with lemon zest for garnish if desired.

Step 11

Allow the glaze to set for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
