Equipment

Ingredients

  • 6 cups All Purpose Flour
  • 6 Eggs
  • 1 tsp Clabber Girl Baking Soda
  • 1 tbsp the lemon zest (reserved from the juiced lemon)
  • 16 oz of Sour Cream
  • 8 tbsp Melted Butter
  • 5 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 8 tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 2 cups Sugar Powdered
  • 1/2 tsp Salt

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven
    Before you start baking, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
    This is an important step, as it ensures that your cake will bake evenly throughout.
  • Prepare the Batter
    In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
    In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
    Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the lemon zest and lemon juice.
  • Combine the ingredients
    Combine Dry Ingredients With Wet Ingredients
    Add half of the flour mixture to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
    Add in the sour cream, then mix in the remaining flour mixture.
  • Pour Batter Into Pan
    Grease a 9-inch bundt pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray.
    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
    Bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
  • Ready to serve
    Cool and Dust With Powdered Sugar
    Let the cake cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before turning it out onto a serving plate.
    Once cooled, sprinkle the top with powdered sugar. Slice and serve!

Notes

  • Make sure to measure the ingredients correctly, as this will ensure that your cake turns out perfectly every time!
  • For extra lemon flavor, add a few tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice to the batter before baking.
  • Try serving the cake with a dollop of freshly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra special treat!
