Description

Every bite of this cake is lemony, light, moist, and sweet. It’s a perfect spring cake!

Ingredients

  • 1-½ cup All-purpose Flour
  • ¼ teaspoons Baking Soda
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • 4 ounces, weight Unsalted Butter, Room Temperature
  • 1-½ cup Sugar
  • 3 whole Eggs, Room Temperature
  • ¼ cups Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 Tablespoon Grated Lemon Peel
  • ½ cups Sour Cream
  • Powdered Sugar, To Dust

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Grease 8-cup tube/Bundt pan. Dust pan with cake flour; tap out excess flour.
2. Sift flour, baking soda and salt into a medium bowl. Beat butter in a large bowl until fluffy. Gradually add sugar and beat 5 minutes. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating just until combined after each addition. Beat in lemon juice and peel. Using a rubber spatula, mix in dry ingredients. Mix in sour cream. Transfer batter to the prepared pan.
3. Bake cake until a tester inserted near the center comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Let cake cool in the pan on a rack 15 minutes. Cut around the cake in the pan. Turn out cake.
4. Carefully turn cake right side up on rack and cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Wrap in foil and let stand at room temperature.)

Sweet heavens – this is a fantastic cake! I did use a bundt cake, use a regular pound cake pan and truthfully, was afraid it might have “fallen” cause it didn’t rise very much. I turned it out, dusted with powder sugar and OH MY….. the taste is divine! So light, fluffy and lemony! Thx for sharing – I will definitely be making this again!

I made this up the night before a family gathering. It was so moist and delicious. A keeper of a recipe. Very popular.
