Steps:

  • Directions Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325°F. Butter and flour a 10-inch fluted tube (Bundt) pan, and tap out the excess flour. Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together; set aside. Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a hand-held electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla and zest. On low speed, add the flour in 3 additions, alternating with 2 additions of the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour. Beat until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl often with a rubber spatula. Spread evenly in the pan. Bake until a wooden skewer inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 1 1/4 hours. Bring the lemon juice, zest, water and sugar to a boil over high heat and cook until it is reduced to 1/2 cup, about 15 minutes. Allow syrup to cool before drizzling onto the cake. Transfer the cake to a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes. Drizzle half the syrup over the cake. Invert onto the rack and brush with the remaining syrup. Cool completely. Recommended technique: If a recipe calls for room temperature eggs, place the uncracked eggs in a bowl of hot water for 5 minutes so they can lose their chill.

Tips:

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning. This helps ensure the cake mixes evenly and results in a smooth batter.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This incorporates air into the mixture, resulting in a tender and moist cake.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This helps prevent the eggs from curdling and ensures they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with milk. This helps prevent the batter from becoming too thick or lumpy.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This helps ensure the cake rises evenly and prevents it from sinking in the middle.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. This helps prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.
