Ingredients

Scale

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided
4 lemons, zested and juiced
3 eggs, room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup buttermilk, room temperature
3 tablespoons milk
2 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

Set oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a bundt pan with non-stick spray, dust with flour and set aside.
In a medium bowl, add flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Whisk to combine and set aside.
In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add butter, 2 cups sugar and the lemon zest. It will be about 1/4 cup. Mix on medium speed until well combined and light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla extract.
Add the flour mixture in three addition, alternating with the buttermilk. Add 1/4 cup lemon juice.
Spoon the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
While the cake bakes, make the syrup. In a small pan over medium heat, add the remaining 1/2 cup sugar and 1/3 cup lemon juice. Bring to a simmer, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. It should only take a few minutes. Set the pan aside to cool.
Once the cake is baked, cool in the pan for 20 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack. Brush some of the syrup on the top of the cake as it cools. Once the cake is turned out, brush the remaining syrup on the outsides of the cake. Brush the syrup on the cake as it cools over a period of time so that it can fully soak in.
Once the cake is fully cooled, prepare the glaze. In a medium bowl, combine the milk and powdered sugar. Stir together to make a smooth consistency. Drizzle or pour the glaze on top. Allow to set before serving.
