Preparation

Step 1

1 Heat oven to 325°F. Generously spray 10- or 12-cup fluted tube cake pan.

2 In large bowl, beat Cake ingredients with electric mixer on low speed 1 minute, scraping bowl constantly. Increase speed to medium; beat 2 minutes. Pour into pan.

3 Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes; turn upside down onto cooling rack or heatproof serving plate, and remove pan. Cool completely, about 1 hour.

4 Place cake on serving plate. In medium bowl, beat powdered sugar and lemon juice, a little at a time, using whisk until thick glaze forms. (You may not need all the juice.) Pour evenly over cake. Store cake loosely covered.

Mix up this basic recipe with different citrus fruits, like orange or lime. Grate the lemon peel right into the bowl with the other ingredients to keep all those bright citrus flavors from drying out in the air.
