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
