- Preheat oven to 350.
- In a bowl beat softened unsalted butter and sugar together until creamed. Slowly add eggs until well combined.
- Add in lemon juice, zest, milk, and sour cream. Beat ingredients well into the batter.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder and soda. Add dry ingredients slowly into batter.
- Mix all ingredients until well combined.
- Pour batter carefully into pre-greased bundt pan** (I use avocado oil spray). Tap the pan a few times on counter to level and release air bubbles.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a tooth pick comes out clean.
- Let cake cool for 15 minutes. Flip the bundt pan over onto a cooling rack to finish cooling. Note: A cutting board works fine if you don't have a cooling rack!
- For the glaze mix together sugar, lemon juice and zest, with 1 tbsp of milk at a time.
- Ensure your cake is thoroughly cooled before glazing! For glaze over the top of the cake and serve! Provecho!
Notes
I've made the recipe gluten free (using a 1:1 gluten free flour mix), feel free to substitute for all purpose flour! ** You can also use a 9x13 cake pan (in place of Bundt pan), decrease cook time by 5-10 minutes.
