The lemon bundt cake is a soft and delicious ring cake to dunk in milk for breakfast, serve with tea for a snack, or enjoy as a dessert with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream. With its fresh and lemony aroma, the bundt cake is truly exquisite. To prepare it, you need a bundt pan, a mold that creates a particularly decorated and scenic cake. There are various shapes and they are all beautiful. In my home, there is more than one bundt pan because I love to change since I make so many ring cakes, but you will only need one. Make a small investment, choose the one you like best, and you’re set. Isn’t a classic mold okay? No. Here, the recipe is more about the pan than the quantities, as it features the characteristic of evenly distributing heat, improving the baking quality. While you are considering the pan, I’ll explain how to make the lemon bundt cake.

Ingredients
- 3 eggs (large)
- 210 g sugar
- 225 g all-purpose flour
- 95 g potato starch
- 1/4 cup rice oil (or other vegetable oil of choice)
- 1/2 cup lemon yogurt
- 1 unwaxed lemon (juice and zest)
- 1 packet baking powder
Tools
- 1 KitchenAid Artisan Mixer
- 1 Sieve
- 1 Citrus Juicer
- 1 24 cm Bundt Pan
- 1 Cake Tester
- 1 Cooling Rack
- 1 Grater
Steps
In the bowl of the mixer or with an electric beater, beat the eggs with the sugar until they are light and frothy. Gradually add the rice oil or chosen vegetable oil and then the yogurt little by little. Sift the flour with the potato starch and baking powder and add it to the mixture spoon by spoon. Finally, add the lemon juice and grated zest. Butter and flour a 9.5-inch pan (for such decorated molds, I recommend using a spray release which reaches perfectly into all the grooves, making it easier to extract the cake) and pour the batter inside. Bake in a preheated oven at 356°F for 40 minutes, but remember to do the skewer test to check if the cake is cooked since every oven is different. When the cake is ready, remove it from the mold and let it cool on a rack, then sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
