Lemon Poppy Seed Bundt Cake-USA #34

A Bundt cake is any cake baked in a Bundt pan, which shapes it into a ring shape with a rounded top. I've chosen a lemon poppy seed cake mixture because it is a favorite of my daughter in-laws. I've made this recipe several times and it is yummy, very lemony.

Cake:

2-3/4 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 c. cornstarch
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 c. poppy seeds
1 c. unsalted butter, room temperature
2 c. sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
2 large lemons, juiced=1/2 c.
1 c. buttermilk, room temperature

  1. Lower oven rack to the lower third position and preheat oven to 350F. Grease, or spray or butter, the inside of a 10" bundt pan. 
  2. Sift the flour and cornstarch together. Whisk in salt, baking powder, baking soda and poppy seeds.
  3. Using a mixer, beat the butter on high until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add the sugar and beat on high until creamed together.
  5. Add the eggs and the vanilla beating until blended.
  6. Add the lemon zest and lemon juice. Continue beating on high.
  7. With the mixture on low speed, add the dry ingredients in 3 additions alternating with the buttermilk, ending with the dry ingredients.
  8. Pour into bundt pan evenly.
  9. Bake 40-50 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
  10. Cool in pan on rack for 15 mins. then flip cake out and cool completely.

Lemon Simple Syrup

1/2 c. sugar
2 large lemons, juiced=1/2 c.

  1. Combine sugar and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Stirring constantly, cook until the sugar has dissolved..
  3. Remove from heat to cool.

Lemon Glaze

1 c. sifted confectioners' sugar
1/2 of 1 large lemon juiced=2 T.

  1. Whisk the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice together in a small bowl.
Once cake has cooled completely pour Lemon Simple Syrup on top and then the Lemon Glaze. Perfecto!

Results: A moist, lemony cake that taste delicious. It's really not a hard cake to make and you use only 1 pan. The syrup and glaze take no time, really simple. 

Bottom Line: This is a family favorite recipe. So, needless to say, I'll be making this again, and again and again. But try other cakes in a bundt pan. It really is an impressive look. Also, coffee cakes can be made in a bundt pan.


Please share with people who like sour patch kids or anyone who likes lemon flavor or people you like. Thanks
