Making this lemon bundt cake from scratch is so easy. It goes to show that you really don’t need to use nasty packet cake mixes. The incy-wincy tiny bit more effort you need for this lemon cake recipe is more than worth the incredibly superior cake you end up with. Trust me on that.

A word about the lemon zest. Before you start zesting you need to give your lemons a good scrub to remove the wax coating usually found on store-bought lemons. Once the wax is off, zest very lightly. You want to avoid grating off the white pith which is bitter. Your lemon should still look quite yellow once you’ve removed the very thin top layer of zest.
