Time 1h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 ½ cups white sugar
1 ½ cups butter, softened
4 eggs
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon lemon extract
2 cups confectioners' sugar
¼ cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 tablespoon lemon zest

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
  • Beat white sugar and 1 1/2 cups butter together in a bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 10 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, thoroughly beating each egg into the butter mixture before adding the next.
  • Sift flour, salt, and baking soda together in a bowl. Add 1/3 of the flour mixture to the butter mixture; mix well. Pour in 1/2 the buttermilk and beat until combined. Repeat adding the remaining flour mixture and buttermilk, beating well after each addition, and ending with the flour mixture. Stir lemon extract into batter. Pour batter into prepared tube pan.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
  • Bake in the oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 60 to 75 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing to a cake platter or plate.
  • Beat confectioner's sugar, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons butter, and lemon zest together in a bowl until glaze is smooth. Pour about half the glaze over the cake; let cool. Pour remaining glaze over the cake.

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 cup unsalted butter
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 lemon, zest of
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon lemon oil
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 lb rhubarb, trimmed and very thinly sliced (3 cups or 12 oz. prepped)
2 cups sifted powdered sugar, more if needed
1 lemon, juice of
1 tablespoon soft unsalted butter

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • Butter a 10-cup Bundt pan.
  • Sift the 2 1/2 cups flour, the baking powder, and salt together in a bowl.
  • Using an electric mixer with beaters or paddle attachment, cream the butter, sugar, and lemon zest together on med-high speed for 3-5 minutes, until light and fluffy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl after each addition, then stir in the lemon oil.
  • Stir in the flour mixture in 3 additions alternating with the buttermilk in 2 additions, beginning and ending with the flour mixture; the batter will be very thick.
  • Toss the rhubarb with the 2 T flour and fold half of the rhubarb into the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and sprinkle the remaining rhubarb on top.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, then rotate pan and cook for an additional 30 minutes, or until the top of the cake is firm and the center springs back when lightly touched.
  • Cool the cake in its pan on a wire rack for 30 minutes before inverting and removing the pan.
  • Glaze-whisk the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and butter together.
  • The mixture should be thick; if not, whisk in another tablespoon or two of powdered sugar.
  • Spread glaze over the cake as soon as you remove the cake from the pan.
  • Store-covered with a cake cover or plastic wrap, the cake will keep at room temperature for 3-4 days.

Tips:

  • For a moist and tender cake, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting.
  • Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter cake.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Use buttermilk that is fresh and at room temperature. Cold buttermilk can cause the cake to be dense.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help the cake rise evenly.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before glazing or frosting. This will help prevent the glaze or frosting from melting.

This classic lemon buttermilk bundt cake is a delicious and versatile treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and tender crumb, tangy lemon flavor, and sweet glaze, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone.
