# What You'll Need:

→ Cake Batter

01 - 310 grams all-purpose flour, sifted
02 - 2.5 teaspoons baking powder
03 - 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
04 - 0.5 teaspoon fine salt
05 - 226 grams unsalted butter, softened
06 - 400 grams granulated sugar
07 - 4 large eggs, room temperature
08 - 240 grams sour cream
09 - 60 millilitres fresh lemon juice
10 - 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
11 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

→ Lemon Glaze

12 - 180 grams powdered sugar
13 - 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
14 - 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat oven to 175°C. Generously grease a 10–12 cup bundt pan with butter or non-stick spray and dust with flour, tapping out any excess.
02 - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together sifted flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
03 - In a large bowl, beat softened butter and granulated sugar on medium speed with electric mixer for 3–4 minutes until pale and fluffy.
04 - Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Incorporate lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
05 - Gradually add the dry ingredients in three portions, alternating with the sour cream. Mix gently, just until combined—do not overmix.
06 - Transfer the batter to the prepared bundt pan. Smooth the surface and gently tap the pan on the worktop to release air bubbles. Bake in centre of oven for 45–50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
07 - Remove cake from oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack and cool completely before glazing.
08 - In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, and melted butter together until smooth and silky.
09 - Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze evenly over the top and let it set before slicing.

# Additional Notes:

01 - Ensure cake is fully cooled before glazing to prevent the glaze from running off.
