Lemon Sugar
Lemon Frosting Glaze

Equipment

  • 1 mixer
  • 1 standard bundt pan minimum 10-cup capacity

Method
 

Lemon Bundt Cake
  1. Preheat oven to 325℉
  2. Add all dry ingredients (cake flour, baking powder, salt & sugar) to the bowl of a stand mixer with a flat beater attachment. Mix on low until ingredients are combined evenly.
  3. Add ¾ cup of canola oil to dry ingredients and allow to mix again until well combined. The mixture should resemble sand at this point.
  4. Combine the rest of the ingredients (eggs, remaining ½ cup of canola oil, yogurt & vanilla) in a small bowl and whisk with fork until egg is completely incorporated and mixture is smooth.
  5. With mixer on medium speed, add your wet ingredients starting with just enough to moisten batter/make a paste. Scrape down the sides/bottom of your mixer as necessary.
  6. Once this paste is smooth, gradually pour in the remainder of the wet ingredients until just combined. Batter will be thin
  7. Pour batter into your bundt pan sprayed with baking spray and bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick come out with a couple crumbs.
  8. Allow cake to cool in bundt pan before removing cake.
Lemon Zest Sugar
  1. While cake cools, prepare lemon zest sugar by combining granulated sugar and lemon zest with your fingers - rubbing in the zest until evenly combined.
    The sugar may clump together while it sits out - this is normal, just use your fingers to break up the clumps.
Lemon Glaze Frosting
  1. Add confectioner's sugar, lemon juice and vanilla to a bowl and whisk until smooth.
    A crust may form at the top while it sits and the cake is cooling. This is normal, just give another whisk right before using to get rid of it.
Assembling Cake
  1. Cover cake by sprinkling generously with lemon zest sugar and then pour lemon glaze frosting evenly over bundt cake.
  2. Store in an airtight container or under a cake dome for up to 5 days for best flavor.
