Ingredients
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1½ teaspoons lemon zest (from 2-3 lemons)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Glaze
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Generously grease a 9-10 cup bundt pan with butter, then dust it with flour and tap out the excess. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. In a large bowl, whisk together the sugar, eggs, sour cream, vegetable oil, lemon zest, lemon extract, and vanilla. Mix until combined.
- Add the flour mixture to the lemon mixture and whisk until combined. Scrape the cake batter into the prepared bundt cake pan and use a rubber spatula, evenly smoothing the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove the cake from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan, set it on a wire rack, for 10 minutes. Then invert the cake onto the rack, or a pedestal cake stand or serving dish.
- To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon extract, and vanilla extract until smooth and super thick. Add a little more lemon juice if necessary to reach your desired consistency.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cake and let it set up for at least 20 minutes before slicing to serve with a dollop of whipped cream and some fresh raspberries. Enjoy!
