Time 2h55m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups sugar
1 cup butter, softened
4 eggs
1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup milk
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Generously spray 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with cooking spray. In large bowl, beat 2 cups sugar and 1 cup butter with electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, scraping bowl occasionally. Add 1 egg at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in lemon peel.
  • On low speed, beat in flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and milk until smooth, scraping bowl occasionally. Pour batter into pan.
  • Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool in pan 15 minutes. Place heatproof serving plate upside down over pan; turn plate and pan over. Remove pan.
  • Meanwhile, in 1-quart nonaluminum saucepan, heat glaze ingredients over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until butter is melted.
  • With long-tined fork or skewer, generously prick top and sides of cake. Brush warm glaze over cake, allowing glaze to soak into cake. Cool completely, about 1 hour 30 minutes, before serving. Garnish with powdered sugar and edible flowers, if desired.

The cake was a little dry, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try adding some sour cream to the batter next time.

The cake was dense and dry. I think I overmixed the batter.

The cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the glaze next time.
