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!
