Prep Time 30 minutes
Cook Time 50 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 20 minutes
Servings: 16 Slices
Course: Dessert

Ingredients
  

The Cake
  • 1 3/4 Cup Flour
  • 1 Cup White Sugar
  • 1/4 Cup Cornstarch
  • 1 tsp Baking Soda
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 Cup Sour Cream
  • 1 Cup Vegetable Oil
  • 4 Eggs
  • 1/2 Cup Lemon Juice
  • 1/4 Cup Lemon Zest 4 lemons
The Glaze
  • 1 Cup Powdered Sugar
  • 1/4 Cup Cream
  • 1-2 tsp Lemon Zest optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F / 180 C.
  2. Zest and juice the lemons.
  3. In a medium bowl, mix together all of the wet ingredients and the lemon zest.
  4. In a large bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients.
  5. Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing to combine. A good rule of thumb is to add 1/3 of the wet mixture at a time.
  6. Add the cake batter to a well-greased 10 inch / 25 cm bundt cake pan.
  7. Bake at 350 F / 180 C for 50 minutes.
  8. Allow the cake to cool for 10 minutes. Then, run a knife around the edges (especially the center portion) of the pan and invert the bundt cake on a plate.
  9. Allow the cake to cool for at least 1 hour before serving.
  10. Top with glaze right before serving. To make the glaze, add powdered sugar, cream, and (optional) lemon zest in a small bowl. Mix to combine. Add more cream for a thinner glaze or more powdered sugar for a thicker glaze.
  11. Enjoy!
