For an extra burst of lemon flavor, consider making a simple lemon glaze by whisking together powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal mixing and a more even bake. Don't overbake the cake, as this can dry it out. Check for doneness with a toothpick test starting at 40 minutes. Adding a tablespoon of lemon zest to the batter amplifies the lemon flavor.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a fluted tube cake pan. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, sour cream, eggs, vegetable oil, lemon juice, lemon pudding mix, lemon zest, poppy seeds, and lemon extract. Using an electric mixer, blend on low speed for 1 minute to combine. Increase the speed to medium and beat for 3 minutes until the batter is smooth and well combined. (5 minutes)
03
StepPour the batter evenly into the prepared Bundt pan. (2 minutes)
04
StepBake in the preheated oven for approximately 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. (45 minutes)
05
StepRemove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. This allows the cake to firm up slightly. (10 minutes)
06
StepAfter 10 minutes, tap the pan firmly a few times, then gently shake it to loosen the cake from the sides. Place the wire rack over the pan and invert to release the cake onto the rack. (2 minutes)
07
StepAllow the cake to cool completely on the wire rack before glazing or serving. (60 minutes)
