How to Make Glazed Lemon Bundt Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add 4 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon lemon extract and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 3 teaspoons baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with 1 cup milk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  7. Stir in the zest of 2 lemons.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. While the cake is cooling, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup powdered sugar, 2-3 tablespoons lemon juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Add more lemon juice if needed to reach desired consistency.
  11. Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top.
