  • 400 grams granulated sugar
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • Zest from 2 large lemons
  • 227 grams unsalted butter, room temperature

Method

Lemon Bundt Cake

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F/177C convection and grease a 10inch (12 cup) bundt pan with baking spray that also has flour in it (I use PAM).
  2. In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, add the granulated sugar and zest the lemons on top. Use your fingers to rub them together.
    400 grams granulated sugar, Zest from 2 large lemons
  3. Add the flour, baking powder and salt and mix until they're evenly distributed.
    360 grams all-purpose flour spooned and leveled, 1 Tbsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt
  4. Add the room temperature butter and use an electric mixer with the whisk attachment to beat the mixture for 2-3 minutes, until pea size chunks form. Add the oil and beat at full speed for another minute.
    227 grams unsalted butter room temperature, 60 mL canola oil or any neutral oil
  5. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating on medium speed until each egg is fully incorporated.
    5 large eggs room temperature
  6. Add the milk, lemon juice and vanilla extract beat just until combined.
    180 mL milk room temperature, 60 mL lemon juice (2 lemons), 2 tsp vanilla extract
  7. Spread the batter in the prepared pan and bake for about 45 minutes, until it springs back when you press on the tallest part.
  8. Allow the bundt cake to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes and then flip over onto a plate or cake stand.**

Lemon Glaze

  1. Whisk the powdered sugar and the lemon juice together until they're completely smooth.
    180 grams powdered sugar spooned and leveled, 30 mL lemon juice
  2. Spread on top of cooled cake and allow to drip naturally.

Notes

**Don't let the cake cool in the pan longer or it will sweat on the top and get soggy and stick to the pan a little.
