Makes 12 slices (the shop I sell to cuts it into 16 and the customers are happy)
Ingredients:
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for greasing pan
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting pan
2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest and 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (from 2 lemons)
1/3 cup minced crystallized ginger (optional but YUM!)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
6 large eggs
1 cup sour cream
Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting cake
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 12-cup bundt pan with butter and dust with flour.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, lemon zest, ginger, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
Beat butter and granulated sugar on medium-high with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add eggs one at a time; mix in lemon juice.
Set mixer on low and alternatively add flour mixture in 3 parts and sour cream in 2 parts. Mix just until flour and sour cream are incorporated, making sure not to over mix.
Spoon batter into bundt pan and smooth top with spatula. Firmly tap pan on counter to level the batter.
Bake for 55 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in centre of cake comes out clean. If cake browns too quickly, cover pan loosely with aluminium foil.
Let cake cool for 30 minutes in bundt pan. Then turn out onto a rack to cool completely.
Dust with confectioners’ sugar before serving.
Store for up to 3 days, wrapped tightly in plastic and keep at room temperature.

Yum, this looks delicious!! I could use a lemon bundt cake right around now. ;-) Cool website -- what's your favorite kosher recipe that you make?
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa! Glad you enjoyed the recipe. As for my favourite kosher recipe, currently my life revolves around sourdough! I have been trying to perfect recipes using my pareve sourdough starter. The Sourdough chocolate cake is delicious but I have even been baking my challah with sourdough and it is quite fun.
ReplyDeleteI make salmon, with the skin on - salt it and fry it in a little oil in the pan. The salt makes it crisp and brown on all sides. Then, for a sauce, I mix a ratio of a tablespoon of Best Food's Mayo and some homemade (or prepared) pesto. Not one person has been able to guess what is in the tartar sauce and I have had nothing but compliments. It can be pareve if homemade or it is dairy if made with most prepared pestos, as they usually contain cheese. Shalom!
