Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup salted butter, room temperature
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup buttermilk
- ¼ cup lemon juice, fresh squeezed
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- lemon zest from 4 lemons
- 3 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ⅓–½ cup lemon juice
- ½ cup butter, room temperature
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 2 ½ – 3 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch kosher salt
- 1 – 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 large lemon zest
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (or 375°F for high altitude). Lightly spray a 12-cup bundt pan and set it aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- Stir together buttermilk, lemon juice, and vanilla in a separate bowl; set aside.
- Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, cream the butter for 2-3 minutes until light and fluffy. Add sugar and lemon zest; beat on medium-high speed for 3-4 minutes.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating for 1 minute after each addition while scraping the bowl's sides.
- With the mixer running on low, alternate adding the flour mixture with half of the liquid mixture, finishing with the flour. Mix just until combined.
- Pour the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing it with a spatula. Firmly tap the pan a couple of times to settle the batter.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes or until a skewer comes out clean. Cover loosely with foil if the top browns too quickly.
- Once baked, cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Carefully invert onto the rack, keeping the hot bundt pan on top until ready to brush with lemon syrup.
