How to Make Easy Lemon Bundt Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 2 cups granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Stir in 1 tablespoon lemon zest.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze: Whisk together 1/2 cup powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth. Add more lemon juice if needed to reach desired consistency.
  9. Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze over the top.
