Preparation

Step 1

Serves 10-12 Prep Time: 15 minutes; Bake Time: 1 hour and 15 minutes
1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Butter and flour a 10-inch bundt pan.
2. Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter and sugar gradually and beat till fluffy.
3. Add flour to batter and mix on low speed just to blend.
4. Add lemon juice and vanilla and mix just to blend. Add eggs one at a time, beating on medium speed for about one minute after each addition and scraping the bowl down as needed.
5. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top. The original recipe calls for baking about 1 hour and 15 minutes but mine is always done closer to an hour so start checking at about 50 minutes and bake as long as you need to. Also if you see that it's getting too dark, cover loosely with a piece of aluminum foil at around 50 minutes. Cake is done when a tester inserted into the center comes out clean.
