How to Make Glazed Lemon Buttermilk Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a small bowl, combine lemon zest and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.
  4. In a separate large bowl, cream together the softened butter and 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Gradually beat in the lemon zest mixture and lemon extract.
  6. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  7. Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the wet ingredients, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan.
  9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  11. While the cake cools, prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon buttermilk until smooth.
  12. Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top.
  13. Garnish with extra lemon zest, if desired.
