Lemon Bundt Cake

Ingredients

• •3 cups flour
• •2 tsp baking powder
• •1/2 tsp baking soda
• •1/2 tsp salt
• •2 cups sugar
• •1 cup butter, softened
• •4 eggs
• •1 cup sour cream
• •2 tbsp lemon zest
• •1/2 cup fresh lemon juice, divided
• •1 cup powdered sugar for glaze

Steps

1. 1.Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a bundt pan.
2. 2.Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. 3.Cream the butter and sugar, then beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the sour cream, lemon zest, and 2 tbsp of the lemon juice - the zest is where most of the lemon flavor lives, and sour cream is what keeps a bundt cake this rich moist instead of dense.
4. 4.Mix in the flour mixture until just combined.
5. 5.Pour into the pan and bake for 50-55 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.
6. 6.While the cake is still warm, poke a few holes in the top and brush with 2 tbsp of the lemon juice, then let cool completely before whisking the powdered sugar with the remaining lemon juice and drizzling over the top - soaking the warm cake first is what makes a bundt cake taste of lemon all the way through, not just on the surface.
