  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice (about 3-4 lemons)
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup powdered sugar for the glaze
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice for the glaze
  • Zest of 1 lemon for the glaze

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a bundt pan generously.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, along with vanilla extract, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
  5. Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, mixing just until combined.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and garnish with extra lemon zest if desired.
  11. Slice and serve with coffee or tea.

Notes

For the best flavor, always use fresh lemons for both the juice and the zest. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make a substitute by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
