Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
3 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for pan
2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest and 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar

Lemon Syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour a 12-cup Bundt pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, lemon zest, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat butter and granulated sugar on medium-high until light and fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition; mix in lemon juice.
  • With mixer on low, alternately add flour mixture and sour cream, beginning and ending with flour mixture; mix just until incorporated (do not overmix). Spoon batter into prepared pan and smooth top with a rubber spatula. Firmly tap pan on a work surface to level batter.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean; 55 to 60 minutes (if cake browns too quickly, tent loosely with aluminum foil). Let cake cool in pan 30 minutes, then turn out onto a rack to cool completely. (To store, wrap cake in plastic and keep at room temperature up to 3 days.) Poke holes all over the cooled cake, and brush with lemon syrup. If the cake does not absorb all the syrup at once, allow to sit about 20 minutes before continuing to brush with any remaining syrup.

Categories     Desserts

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup unsalted butter, 2 sticks, room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 large eggs, room temperature
2 tablespoons lemon zest
¼ cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup lemon juice
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 lemon, zested

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • Make the cake: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar, and salt with an electric hand mixer until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla and beat to combine.
  • Add half the flour and beat to combine, then beat in the milk, then add the rest of the flour and beat just until incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula and make sure any floury spots are incorporated.
  • Grease a 10-inch (25-cm) bundt pan with nonstick spray. Spoon the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Gently tap the pan against the counter to release any air bubbles.
  • Bake the cake for 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • While the cake is baking, make the lemon glaze: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar and lemon juice. Microwave for 1 minute, stirring halfway through, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Set aside.
  • Make the lemon icing: Sift the powdered sugar into a medium bowl. Add the lemon juice and whisk until smooth.
  • After the cake is done baking, let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack set over a baking sheet and remove the bundt pan. Use a knife to loosen the cake around the edges, if needed.
  • Use a skewer or fork to poke holes all over the top and sides of the cake. Brush the cake with the lemon glaze. If the glaze drips off, let the cake cool for a few more minutes, then continue brushing on the glaze. Let cool completely, at least 1 hour.
  • Pour the icing over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Grate lemon zest over the icing. Let the glaze dry completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the cake to a serving platter, slice, and serve.
  • Enjoy!

RHUBARB BUNDT CAKE



Rhubarb Bundt Cake image

A swirl of rhubarb jam graces the center of this vanilla-y Bundt cake. This is one of those cakes that keeps well for several days, and may even taste better on the 2nd or 3rd day after baking.

Provided by Kim

Categories     Rhubarb Recipes

Time 2h10m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ½ cups finely chopped rhubarb
½ cup white sugar
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 ¾ cups white sugar
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
½ teaspoon almond extract
1 ½ cups buttermilk, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Combine rhubarb, 1/2 cup sugar, and salt in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook until rhubarb has broken down and mixture has thickened, stirring occasionally, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Place mixture into a heat-safe bowl and place into the refrigerator to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 10-cup Bundt® pan.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda together in a small bowl.
  • Cream butter, oil, and sugar together with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add in eggs, 1 at a time, mixing well after each addition. Beat mixture for another 3 minutes on medium-high speed until batter has lightened in color. Mix in vanilla and almond extracts. Add in half of the flour mixture and mix until just combined. Pour in buttermilk and mix until just combined. Add in remaining flour mixture and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  • Pour half of the batter into the prepared Bundt® pan and smooth into an even layer. Remove rhubarb jam from fridge, and carefully spoon over the batter. Place dollops of remaining batter over the jam, and gently smooth into an even layer; taking care to cover the jam completely.
  • Place pan into preheated oven and bake until a bamboo skewer inserted into the center of the cake comes out with just a few moist crumbs, 55 to 60 minutes. Cool cake in pan for 30 minutes before gently running a knife around the edges to loosen. Invert cake onto a wire rack and cool completely.

Tips and Conclusion

Tips

  • Use good quality lemons. The fresher the lemons, the better the cake will taste.
  • Zest the lemons finely. This will help release the lemon oils and give the cake a more intense flavor.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter and make the cake light and tender.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Fold in the flour and baking powder gently. Overmixing the batter will toughen the cake.
  • Bake the cake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 60-70 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing. This will help the glaze set properly.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

The Easy Lemon Lovers Bundt Cake is a delicious and refreshing dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and fluffy texture, tangy lemon flavor, and sweet glaze, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
