Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 6 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 3 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (1 lemon)
- 1 cup lemon flavored Greek yogurt
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 2–3 tablespoons lemon juice (freshly squeezed from 1 lemon)
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Grease and lightly flour a bundt pan. Set aside.
- Beat the unsalted butter until light and fluffy in a stand mixer on medium speed. Slowly add in the granulated sugar and continue to beat with the mixer for 5 minutes, scraping down the sides every few minutes.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing until completely incorporated before adding the next egg. Pour in the almond extract and lemon extract and mix.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the all-purpose flour, salt, baking soda, and lemon zest together until combined.
- With the mixer on low speed, add half of the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Add the lemon flavored Greek yogurt, mix, and then add the rest of the dry ingredients.
- Pour the cake batter into the pan and spread it out into an even layer. Bake for 1 hour and 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center (between the tube and pan edge) comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes in the pan. Place an upside-down plate on the top of the pan. Then flip everything over so that the cake is now on the plate and right side up. Allow to cool completely.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon extract.
- Once the cake is completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top, letting it run down the sides as well. Cut the cake into slices and serve.
Notes
- This cake can be stored at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For added flavor, consider using a mix of citrus zest.
