    List of Ingredients




    Cake
    3 cups all-purpose flour
    1/2 teaspoon baking powder
    1/4 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
    3 cups sugar
    6 large eggs, at room temperature*
    1 teaspoon vanilla
    Grated zest of 2 lemons
    1 cup sour cream, at room temperature

    Lemon Syrup
    1 cup fresh lemon juice
    2/3 cup sugar
    1/4 cup water
    Zest of 1 lemon

    Recipe



    Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 325°F.
    Butter and flour a 10-inch fluted tube (Bundt) pan, and tap out
    the excess flour.

    Sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together; set
    aside. Beat the butter and sugar in a large bowl with a hand-held
    electric mixer on high speed until light and fluffy, about 3
    minutes. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, then the vanilla and
    zest. On low speed, add the flour in 3 additions, alternating
    with 2 additions of the sour cream, beginning and ending with the
    flour. Beat until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl
    often with a rubber spatula. Spread evenly in the pan.

    Bake until a wooden skewer inserted in the center of the cake
    comes out clean, about 1 1/4 hours.

    Bring the lemon juice, zest, water and sugar to a boil over high
    heat and cook until it is reduced to 1/2 cup, about 15 minutes.
    Allow syrup to cool before drizzling onto the cake .

    Transfer the cake to a wire rack and cool for 10 minutes. Drizzle
    half the syrup over the cake. Invert onto the rack and brush with
    the remaining syrup. Cool completely.

    Recommended technique: If a recipe calls for room temperature
    eggs, place the uncracked eggs in a bowl of hot water for 5
    minutes so they can lose their chill
