The Best Moist Lemon Bundt Cake Recipe
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

  3. In a large mixing bowl add the sugar and lemon zest and rub everything together with your fingers to release the lemon oils.

  4. Add in the softened butter to the sugar and beat on medium-high speed for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.

  5. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

  6. Mix in the vanilla extract, lemon juice, sour cream, and oil until fully combined.

  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients in two additions, alternating with the milk. Start and end with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined, don’t overmix!

  8. Generously grease and flour a 10-12 cup bundt pan or Baker's Joy non stick spray if you want something easier. You can also use melted shortening just make sure to get it in every crack and crevasse, then dust with flour to cover ever area of the pan. .

  9. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.

  10. Bake for 48-50 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean with a few moist crumbs.

  11. While the cake bakes, heat ⅓ cup lemon juice + ⅓ cup sugar in a saucepan over low heat until the sugar dissolves.

  12. Once the cake is out of the oven, poke holes in the top with a skewer or toothpick and brush the warm syrup all over the cake while it’s still hot.

  13. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.

  14. Whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and heavy cream until smooth and thick enough to coat the cake generously.

  15. Pour over the cooled bundt cake, letting it drip down the sides. Top with more lemon zest if you'd like
