Lemon Bundt Cake

Preheat oven to 350^oF.

Prepare Bundt^® pan by generously greasing sides, bottom, center tube and every crevice with shortening. Lightly dust with flour.

In a large bowl, combine all cake ingredients.

With an electric mixer, beat for 2 minutes on medium speed, scraping sides and bottom of bowl halfway through.

Pour cake batter into prepared pan.

Bake for 48-50 minutes, or until cake tests done with a toothpick and top is deep golden brown.

Remove cake from pan and place on a serving plate.

Allow to cool; sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar.

Helpful hints:

1. Tip for removing cake from Bundt® pan: Right out of the oven, gently slide a small rubber spatula around the edges to loosen the cake from the pan. Cool upright in the pan for 5 minutes. Then turn pan upside-down on a cooling rack and cool an additional 5 minutes in the pan. Gently tap on pan and shake pan side to side to remove cake.
2. To sweeten this cake and enhance the lemon flavor, try using a lemon glaze in place of the dusting of confectioners’ sugar. Mix ½ cup confectioners’ sugar with 1-2 tablespoons concentrated lemon juice and drizzle over the cooled cake before slicing.
