Description
This delightful gluten-free lemon bundt cake is perfect for any occasion, offering a moist and flavorful experience with a refreshing lemon glaze on top.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups gluten free all purpose flour (I recommend Cup4Cup gluten-free flour)
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 3 ounces dry instant lemon pudding mix (read label for GF)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- ¾ cup sour cream
- ½ cup oil (any preferred)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup boiling water
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 2 – 2½ tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a nonstick 12-cup bundt cake pan and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl combine flour, sugar, pudding mix, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix on low to combine.
- Add the eggs, sour cream, oil, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Mix on low speed until all the ingredients are combined. Slowly pour in the boiling water, mixing on low speed. Once combined, increase speed to medium and beat for 1 minute. The mixture will be very thick, especially if using Cup4Cup flour. Do not add more liquid or the baked texture will be off.
- Spread evenly in the prepared bundt cake pan. Bake on the middle rack for 50-55 minutes, or until a long cake tester comes out clean. It’s better to err on the side of slightly over-baking with GF cakes to make sure all the moisture is absorbed.
- Cool on wire rack for 10 minutes before inverting out of the pan and cooling completely.
- For the glaze, mix together the lemon juice and powdered sugar in a small bowl. The mixture should be just thin enough to drizzle on. Drizzle over the top of the cake.
Notes
- This cake is best served slightly warm or at room temperature.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- For a more intense lemon flavor, feel free to add more lemon zest to the batter.
