**Ingredients:**
*For the Cake:*
- 2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 cup buttermilk
*For the Glaze:*
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch Bundt cake pan.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set it aside.
3. In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy.
4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with buttermilk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt cake pan and smooth the top.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Once the cake is fully cooled, prepare the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, fresh lemon juice, and lemon zest until you have a smooth, pourable consistency.
10. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cooled cake, allowing it to run down the sides.
11. Slice and serve your Lemon Glazed Lemon Bundt Cake, and enjoy the burst of citrus flavor!
This cake is a true citrus delight that's perfect for any occasion. 😋
