Step-by-Step Instructions for Lemon Bundt Cake

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease and flour your bundt pan.
  • Cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • Mix in the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest gently into the batter.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes and check for doneness with a toothpick.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack.
  • Whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth for the glaze.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake, then slice, serve, and enjoy!
