Baking your Lemon Bundt Cake can be straightforward when you follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 10- or 12-cup Bundt pan by greasing and flouring it.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, using a mixer, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar until fluffy and light in color, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Add Eggs: Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix until fully combined.
5. Incorporate Lemon: Stir in the lemon zest and vanilla extract, blending until just combined.
6. Alternate Adding Dry Ingredients and Milk: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture and milk to the butter mixture, alternating between them. Start and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined—avoid overmixing.
7. Add Lemon Juice: Gently fold in the fresh lemon juice until evenly distributed.
8. Pour Batter into Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan, smoothing the top.
9. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Cool the Cake: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes. Then carefully invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
11. Glaze the Cake (Optional): If desired, drizzle lemon glaze on top once cool, or dust with powdered sugar before serving.
