Ingredients
Lemon Bundt Cake
- 1 cup butter softened
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 4 large eggs at room temperature
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 3 cups gluten free flour blend
- 1 cup milk any kind
- 2 large lemons
Lemon Glaze
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice from the zested lemons
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
Make the Lemon Bundt Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
- Mix the butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy
- Grab your favorite gluten free flour blend. My friends at Down in the Valley gave me this one to try. I loved it! It worked just like regular flour
- Crack the eggs - I like to put them in a measuring cup because I know there are no shells and it's easier to blend them in the batter
- Add the eggs to the sugar and butter one at a time, incorporating them as you go
- Take a minute to scrape the sides of the mixer down as you go, to be sure all the ingredients are well blended
- Add the baking powder to the batter give it a quick blend
- Measure the flour and milk and have them at the ready
- Add the flour and milk in 4 parts, alternating them as you go
- Zest the lemons
- Add the lemon zest to the batter and stir in gently
- Spray or thoroughly grease a 12"bundt pan
- Add the batter to the bundt, and smooth so it's evenly distributed
- Bake the cake until a tester comes out clean. This will take between 45 and 60 minutes, depending on your oven and pan. I start testing at about 40 minutes
- When the cake comes out of the oven, go around the edges with a knife to loosen the cake
- Top with a rack and turn over. If the cake doesn't come out of the pan, give it a few minutes to cool and shake gently
Make the Lemon Glaze
- Mix the juice of the two lemons and the sugar in a measuring cup or small pan. Heat gently in the microwave or on the stove, just until the sugar has disolved
- Brush the glaze over the still warm cake - smells so good!
- Let the glazed cake cool
- Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and a mint leaf or your favorite berry toppings. This one's a winner!
