Ingredients

Units Scale

Cake:

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2–3 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 10-cup Bundt pan by greasing and flouring it.
  2. Cream butter and sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, then mix in lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
  3. Combine dry and wet ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk, until just combined.
  4. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smooth the top, and bake for 50-60 minutes. Let the cake cool in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.
  5. Make the glaze: Whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled cake.

Notes

  • For extra lemon flavor, consider adding 1/2 teaspoon of lemon extract to the batter.
  • This cake remains moist for several days and freezes well. Serve with whipped cream or fresh berries for a beautiful presentation.
