Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Glaze:

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 325°F (165°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • In another bowl, combine the sour cream, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the sour cream mixture. Begin and end with the dry ingredients.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top. Bake for 55-65 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  • Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.

For the Glaze:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake. Let the glaze set before slicing and serving.
