You’ll Never Guess The Secret Ingredient In This Lemon Cake…We Couldn’t Believe It Worked!

I was really shocked when I found out that this cake used buttermilk. If you have a craving for Lemon Cake but don't have any on hand you can always use regular milk.

Let's Get Started…

The Ingredients To Gather:

  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

  • 1 3/4 cups sugar

  • 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1 1/4 cups buttermilk

  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

  • 5 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 4 large eggs, at room temperature

  • 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more as needed

The Step By Step Directions To Follow:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously grease and flour a (9-inch) Bundt pan.

  2. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the butter and sugar and beat on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and light in texture, about 5 minutes. While the butter is beating, sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt, and set aside. In a small bowl, combine the buttermilk, lemon zest, and 4 tablespoons of the lemon juice and set aside.

  3. Add the eggs to the butter-sugar mixture, one at a time, beating well and scraping down the bowl after each addition. In 3 additions, alternate adding the sifted dry ingredients and the wet ingredients to the butter-sugar mixture, stirring on low until just incorporated.

  4. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan or fill each muffin cup two-thirds full with batter.

  5. In a small bowl, combine the confectioner's sugar, the remaining 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon cold water and stir until very smooth. Spoon the glaze evenly over the cake.

Finished!
