How to Make Peggy's Lemon Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease and flour a 10-inch bundt cake pan.
  3. In a large bowl, combine all wet ingredients. Gradually add dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. While the cake is still warm, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Add a teaspoon of milk or lemon juice at a time to adjust consistency as needed
  7. Drizzle the glaze generously over the warm cake, allowing it to run down the sides.
