Lemon Bundt Cake

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

Grease the bundt pan by using a vegetable spray or by brushing melted shortening or butter into every nook and cranny of the pan. Pan spray is actually a better choice for a bundt cake, as the milk solids in butter can cause the cake to stick to the pan.

Step 3

Add the butter to the bowl of a stand mixer and whip the butter until light and fluffy (2 minutes).

Step 4

Add the granulated sugar and lemon zest to the whipped butter and mix until light and fluffy (3-4 minutes). Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.

Step 5

Add in the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.

Step 6

Add the flour, salt, baking powder, and cornstarch to a large bowl and whisk together. Set aside until needed.

Step 7

Add the lemon juice, milk, and vanilla extract to a mixing bowl and whisk together until well blended.

Step 8

Alternately, add the dry ingredients and wet ingredients to the creamed butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until the batter is just combined. Do not overmix.Scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl when finished to make sure there are no clumps of unmixed ingredients.

Step 9

Add the Greek yogurt to the batter, mixing by hand until combined. Don't mix any more than necessary.

Step 10

Pour the cake batter evenly into the bundt pan.

Step 11

Place the bundt pan on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.*Baking times can vary depending on your oven.

Step 12

Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Then remove the cake from the bundt pan and allow it to finish cooling on the wire rack.

Step 13

Add the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest to a small bowl and whisk until well combined. Drizzle the lemon icing over the bundt cake.

Step 14

Let the icing set for 5 minutes before slicing the cake.

Step 15

Serve with fresh fruit or vanilla ice cream.
