Instructions

  4. Mix in lemon zest, fresh lemon juice, and vanilla extract until combined.
  5. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth out the top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice until smooth. If desired, add optional lemon zest for extra flavor. Adjust consistency as needed.
  10. Once your cake is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze generously over the top.
