For the Cake:

  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 1 cup unsalted butter (room temperature)

  • 1¾ cups granulated sugar

  • 3 large eggs

  • 1 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

  • Zest of 2 lemons

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Generously grease and flour a 10–12 cup Bundt pan.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  3. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy (about 3–5 minutes).

  4. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

  5. Stir in lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla.

  6. Add dry ingredients and sour cream alternately, starting and ending with the flour. Mix just until combined.

  7. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Tap the pan on the counter to remove air bubbles.

  8. Bake for 55–65 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out with a few moist crumbs.

  9. Cool in pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack and let cool completely.

  10. Make the glaze: whisk powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.

  • Use fresh lemons only—zest and juice make all the difference.

  • Grease every crevice of your Bundt pan to ensure a perfect release.

  • Let glaze set 30 minutes before slicing for best results.
