Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Cake:

  • 1 1/2 cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  • 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C) and grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. Mix butter and cream cheese: Cream together the butter and cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Add sugar and eggs: Gradually add the sugar and beat until light and creamy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Blend in flavors: Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  5. Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing just until combined.
  6. Bake: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 75–85 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and frost: Let the cake cool before inverting onto a wire rack. For the frosting, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add powdered sugar, lemon juice, zest, and vanilla. Spread over the cooled cake.

Notes

  • For added lemon flavor, brush the warm cake with a simple lemon syrup (equal parts sugar and lemon juice) before frosting.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
