Lemon Cream Bundt Cake
ย 
EDITOR’S NOTE (December 29, 2019):ย  PIN here on Pinterest.
ย 
This tender cake is loaded with lemony flavor.
ย 
It is homemade from scratch with simple ingredients.
ย 
Perfect for lemon lovers.
ย 
ย 
The Lemon Cream Glaze has a wonderful creamy texture and tangy taste.
ย 
ย 
Not sponsored.ย  It’s a favorite product.
ย 
Before using baking powder, test for effectiveness.ย  Simply drop 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder in a 1/4 cup of hot water.ย  Effective if it bubbles vigorously.ย  Discard if it doesn’t bubble.ย ย 
ย 
ย 
If glaze is not your thing, I’ve got good news.
ย 
This moist, tender lemon bundt cake is fantastic without glaze.

Lemon Cream Bundt Cake
Superb with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
ย 
I love baking bundt cakes for a variety of reasons.ย ย 
ย 
Did You Know?
ย 
National Bundt Day, also known as National Bundt Cake Day, is observed every year on November 15.
ย 
They’re easy to make and to decorate.ย  Stacked cakes are not my thing (for now any way).
ย 
To make a lovely presentation with this Lemon Cream Bundt Cake, place a bowl of lemon cream glaze in center of cake before serving. Top glaze with pretty lemon slices.
ย 
ย 
TIP…
ย 
Use a long knife to test a bundt cake for doneness.ย  A toothpick is too short.ย  Remove bundt cake from oven, insert knife in center.ย  Press to bottom.ย  Remove.ย  If knife comes out clean, bundt cake is done.
ย 
ย 
Placing bowl of glaze in center is a creative way to allow individuals who do not like glaze, to enjoy some cake.
ย 
As for those who love glaze, simply drizzle their slice(s) with lots of lemon cream glaze.
ย 
For example, my aunt likes glaze. “Sometimes” I don’t.ย  Really depends on my sweet tooth (smile).ย 
ย 
Rather than bake 2 cakes, I place a bowl of glaze in the center.ย  Voila!ย 
ย 
I also LOVEย  to bake pound cakes. ย  Check out my Homemade Cream Cheese Pound Cake (made from scratch) and Cream Cheese Pound Cake (yellow cake mix).
ย 
ย 
The difference between a pound cake and a regular cake is a pound cake has one dairy (butter).ย  No milk.ย 
ย 
ย 

Milk and unsalted butter are ingredients in this original recipe discovered on Allrecipes.

I made minor adjustments by adding more lemony flavor.

Ingredients

Lemon Cream Cake

  • cooking spray Use to grease bundt pan (or cake pans).
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour Plus 2 tablespoons to dust bundt pan (or cake pans).
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 1-1/4 cups white sugar
  • 3 large eggs room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons lemon extract
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice Fresh has more flavor than bottled.
  • 1 cup whole milk room temperature

Lemon Cream Glaze

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice Fresh has more flavor than bottled juice.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest Add more if desired.
  • 2 cups confectioner's sugar

Instructions

Lemon Bundt Cake

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Grease and flour a standard bundt pan (4 cups) or two 8" round cake pans with cooking spray. Or grease with butter (not margarine) and lightly sprinkle with flour.
  • In a medium sized bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
  • In another medium sized bowl, use a mixer on low speed to cream together butter and sugar.
  • With the mixer still on low, beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in the vanilla, lemon extract and lemon juice.
  • Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the milk, mixing just until incorporated (about 40 seconds). Over mixing will make cake dry.
  • Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean. Use a long knife to test a bundt cake for doneness. See Recipe Notes.
  • Allow to cool in bundt pan (or cake pans) for 10 minutes BEFORE inverting onto plate (bundt pan). Invert cake pans on wire racks to completely cool.

Lemon Cream Glaze

  • Melt butter in a medium-sized saucepan over low heat. Add lemon juice, zest and confectioners sugar. Stir constantly until well combined. After about 30 seconds, mixture will become a thin icing.
  • To make it thicker, continue stirring 30 seconds longer. To make it thinner, add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice or 1/2 tablespoon of melted/unsalted butter.
  • Taste a sample. Add more lemon juice if desired.
  • Drizzle warm glaze over entire cake or over each individual slice.

Notes

ย 
~If desired, combine ingredients with a sturdy spoon instead of a mixer.
ย 
~Test for doneness with a long knife.ย  A toothpick is too short.ย  Remove cake from oven, insert knife in center.ย ย  Press to bottom.ย ย  Remove.ย  If it comes out clean, cake is done.
