Ingredients
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup lemon juice
Zest of 1 lemon
Directions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease and flour a bundt pan to keep your cake from sticking.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition, then mix in the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture to your butter mixture, alternating with the lemon juice. Continue mixing just until everything is combined and smooth.
6. Gently fold in the lemon zest for that wonderful fresh flavor.
7. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing out the top.
8. Place in the oven and bake for 60 to 70 minutes. The cake is done when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
Enjoy every tender, citrusy bite!
