The Ultimate Lemon Glaze Bundt Cake

In a bowl, whisk together 120g (1 cup) powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice until smooth.

If the glaze is too thin, add more powdered sugar. If it is too thick, add lemon juice a teaspoon at a time.

Once the cake has cooled completely, slowly drizzle the glaze over the top so it flows down the ridges of the Bundt cake.

Variations

Blueberry Lemon: Add 1 cup of fresh blueberries tossed in a little flour to prevent them from sinking into the batter.

Lemon Poppy Seed: Stir 2 tablespoons of poppy seeds into the dry ingredients for a nutty crunch and classic flavor.

Lavender Lemon: Mix the sugar with dried culinary lavender and let it sit for 24 hours before baking to create a delicate floral aroma.

Tips for Success

Always use room-temperature ingredients such as butter, eggs, and sour cream to create a smooth batter and even texture.

Properly grease and flour the Bundt pan to avoid the cake sticking to the intricate design.

Avoid overbaking the cake. Begin checking about 5 minutes before the baking time ends to maintain a soft and moist crumb.
