Creating this Lemon Bundt Cake is quite straightforward! Follow these steps to craft your delicious dessert:

1. Preheat your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the Bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt to combine.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In another bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
4. Add Eggs: Add in the eggs, one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
5. Combine Sour Cream: Mix in the sour cream, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until well combined.
6. Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir until just blended; avoid overmixing.
7. Pour into Pan: Carefully pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top for even baking.
8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15-20 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Glaze (Optional): If desired, mix powdered sugar with a bit of lemon juice to create a glaze and drizzle it over the cooled cake before serving.

By following these simple steps, you’ll have a stunning Lemon Bundt Cake ready to impress!
