Lemon bundt cake with strawberries/glaze and lemon

You’ll Need :

Cake

2 cups cake flour*

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 cups Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar

1/2 cup salted butter, softened

Zest of one lemon

4 large eggs

1 cup sour cream

1/4 cup lemon juice

2 teaspoons lemon extract

Lemon Glaze

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 cup Dixie Crystals Confectioners Powdered Sugar

2 drops yellow food coloring

Strawberry Glaze

1/8 cup frozen (or fresh) sliced strawberries, thawed and pureed

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1 1/4 cups Dixie Crystals Confectioners Powdered Sugar

Thinly sliced lemons and strawberries, for garnish

Directions :

Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter and flour a 10-12 cup Bundt pan (either will work) and set aside.1

In the bowl of mixer, beat butter, sugar, and lemon zest on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Add flour mixture and sour cream alternately to sugar mixture, starting and ending with flour mixture. Beat in lemon juice and lemon extract, giving the bowl a few good scrapes from bottom with a wooden spoon.2

Pour batter into prepared Bundt pan and bake for roughly 45 minutes, until the edges are browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cake cool in pan for 10 minutes, then very carefully turn out onto wire racks to cool completely.3

Prepare lemon glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, powdered sugar, and food coloring until smooth. Carefully place cooled cake on a plate, then drizzle lemon glaze over the top. Refrigerate until glaze has hardened.4

In a small bowl, whisk together pureed strawberries, lemon juice, and powdered sugar. Drizzle over cake. Garnish with fresh strawberries and thin lemon slices and serve.
