For the bundt cake, you will need:

-Flour: We need 3 cups of sifted all-purpose flour for the batter. This means not to pack it into the cups as you want the air to keep it light and fluffy so we don’t over-flour the mixture and throw off the dry:wet ratio.

-Leavening agents: We need 1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda to make this bundt cake fluffy.

-Salt: Just 1/2 teaspoon of salt will help to enhance the flavors in the cake wonderfully.

-Sugar: We need 1 1/2 cups of sugar to sweeten the cake perfectly.

-Butter: With 1 cup of softened unsalted butter (2 sticks) we can get a rich flavor throughout the cake.

-Yogurt: Adding in moisture is 3/4 cup of plain flavored Greek yogurt. Do not use regular yogurts as that is too much moisture, but sour cream can be substituted.

-Vanilla: 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract will help to enhance the flavor of the cake nicely.

-Lemon: We need the zest and juice from 2 whole lemons to help us pack flavor in every bite.

-Yellow food coloring: If you want your cake to be nice and yellow (like a lemon) then you can add in 1-2 drops of yellow food coloring to help achieve this look. This is an optional ingredient.

-Powdered sugar: We need 1 cup of powdered sugar to help give us a nice and sweet icing.

-Lemon juice: Adding in 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice will thin down the powdered sugar and make a drizzle icing that packs a tangy flavorful punch.

-Vanilla extract: Just 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract is needed to help enhance the flavors in this simple icing recipe.

Iced Lemon Bundt Cake recipeHow to Make Iced Lemon Bundt Cake

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a bundt pan by greasing it and sprinkling it with flour. Set it aside.

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium sized mixing bowl and set it aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy. Mix in the eggs, two at a time, and then add in the vanilla, mixing after each addition. If desired, add in the yellow food coloring now.

Beat in the lemon zest and lemon juice.

Turn the mixer to low speed and add in the dry ingredients, working in about 3-4 batches, alternating with the yogurt and mixing after each addition until incorporated.

Pour your batter into the bundt pan and then bake for 45-55 minutes or until a toothpick can be inserted and come out clean.

When the cake has finished baking, transfer it to a cooling rack and allow to cool for 10 minutes in the pan before flipping the cake over and allowing it to cool completely before glazing.

Make the frosting by mixing the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over the top of the cake. Enjoy!
