Classic Lemon Bundt Cake

One of the most delicious desserts is the Classic Lemon Bundt Cake, a cake with simple ingredients like eggs, sugar, flour, milk, baking powder, and oil. My version is without butter, but the result is exceptional. A simple lemon-scented cake that stays super soft for several days, suitable for both breakfast and snack. Bundt cakes are the most loved desserts. Pair it with coffee or cappuccino for a rich and substantial breakfast, or serve it with hazelnut spread, jam, or pastry cream. Kept under a glass dome, it will remain super soft for several days.
