How to Make Lemon Bundt Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 3 teaspoons baking powder.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  5. Add 1/2 cup milk and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract to the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  7. Stir in 1/2 cup lemon juice and 1 tablespoon lemon zest.
  8. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar before serving (optional).
