Lemonade Bundt Cake
Delicious and easy cake with lemonade, soda or carbonated water in the batter
Servings: 10
Ingredients
For the cake:
- 1 cup/ 200 g granulated sugar
- 2 cups / 260 g all-purpose flour
- 4 eggs
- ⅓ cup/ 100 ml vegetable oil, I use olive oil
- zest of 1 lemon
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ⅔ cup/ 160 ml cup lemon soda, see notes
For the glaze:
- 1 cup/ 120 g powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Cake:
- Preheat oven to 350° F/ 180° C. Grease and flour very well a bundt cake pan.
- In a bowl sift together flour and baking powder.
- In a large mixing bowl whisk the eggs and sugar for 2-3 minutes. Add lemon zest and oil and beat until smooth. Using a rubber spatula, start folding the dry ingredients into the mixture. Alternate with the lemon soda, mixing gently, until absorbed. The batter should not be too thick.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared bundt pan. Bake for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the centre comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before removing it. Run carefully a butter knife around the edges and then invert it on a plate. Spoon the hot glaze on top and serve.
Glaze:
- In a small saucepan combine powdered sugar and lemon juice. Heat until the mixture starts simmering.
Notes
- Store the cake for 2-3 days at room temperature, covered with plastic wrap.
- You can use any kind of carbonated lemon flavoured drink: yellow lemonade, lemon soda, sprite, 7 up, etc. Alternatively use just carbonated water.
- How to grease the pan: pour few tablespoons of oil and put half tbs flour inside the pan. Use a kitchen brush to mix both ingredients and spread them very thoroughly inside the pan.
- To make a marble pattern: take 3-4 tablespoon batter in a separate bowl and mix it with 2 teaspoon cocoa powder. Pour half of the light batter into the prepared pan. Pour the cocoa mixture on top. Cover with the rest of the light batter.
