Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • For the lemon glaze:
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 23 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • Lemon slices + fresh mint (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-cup bundt pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each.
  4. Stir in lemon zest, juice, and vanilla.
  5. Add flour mixture alternately with buttermilk, mixing until just combined.
  6. Pour batter into prepared pan. Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool in pan 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. Whisk powdered sugar and lemon juice into a smooth glaze. Drizzle over cooled cake. Garnish with lemon slices and mint leaves.

Notes

  • Don’t skip the zest — it adds depth to the lemon flavor.
  • Use a silicone or non-stick bundt pan and grease well for a clean release.
  • Glaze once the cake is fully cooled for that perfect glossy finish.
