Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Lemon Bundt Cake
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare the bundt pan by greasing it with butter and lightly flouring it.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a large bowl, cream the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, into your butter-sugar mixture until fully incorporated.
  5. Gently stir in the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest until well combined.
  6. Gradually add your dry ingredients to the wet mixture, blending until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Bake for 45-50 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack.
  10. Prepare the glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice until you achieve the desired consistency.
  11. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and allow it to set.
  12. Slice the cake and serve it to family and friends.
