Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon rind (grated)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup butter (softened)
- 1 cup sour cream
- 3 eggs
Instructions:
-
Preparation: Preheat your oven to 325ยฐF (165ยฐC). Grease and flour a bundt or tube pan, ensuring even coating to prevent sticking.
-
Mixing: In a large mixer bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, baking soda, fresh lemon rind, vanilla extract, softened butter, sour cream, and eggs.
-
Blending: Start mixing on low speed until the ingredients are incorporated. Then, increase the speed to medium and beat for approximately 4 minutes. This will ensure a smooth and well-mixed batter.
-
Pouring: Once the batter is thoroughly blended, pour it into the prepared bundt or tube pan, spreading it evenly.
-
Baking: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60 to 70 minutes. Keep an eye on the cake and test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. The cake is ready when it springs back and the toothpick comes out clean.
-
Cooling: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 20 minutes. This helps it set and makes it easier to remove from the pan without breaking.
-
Removing from Pan: After cooling, carefully remove the cake from the pan and place it on a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Glazing: Once the cake is completely cooled, prepare the glaze by mixing 1 cup of powdered icing sugar with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the top of the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides for added sweetness and flavor.
