Haven't made it yet, but it sounds delicious. Where is the recipe for the lemon syrup? I don't see it on this page.

This has been my go-to lemon bundt cake since I saw this episode of Martha Bakes. It’s delicious and moist and full of lemon flavour. I zhuzh it up a bit by also adding a lemon glaze after it’s cooled. And sometimes I add a cup of blueberries. Soooo good!

Baking time took longer about 1 hr 30 mins. and I did not get the brown outside just like yours. But it tastes really good. I like the balance of sweetness and tanginess. I am baking it again today. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe.

Amazing moist cake I will definately make this cake again. I didn't put a lemon syrup over the cake I don't think it was needed. This cake was done much sooner than what the recipe says so keep checking the cake before the timer goes off.

I wanted a lemon and chocolate cake. Used this as the base recipe except substituted lemon curd for one half of the sour cream. Mixed in some mini chocolate chips. After baking, added lemon sugar syrup and then a chocolate ganache glaze and sprinkled with lemon zest ribbons. Perfect.

excellent flavour and texture, but mine seems to become slightly hollow inside during the baking process. Am i over mixing? any suggestions? Thank you!

My twelve-year-old made the lemon bundt cake. She watched the video, then followed the directions exactly as written. The cake turned out perfectly! So delicious!

Delicious cake. If using dark pan cook on lower temp. I followed the recipe but I used a dark colored cake pan so I should have cooked it on 325 degrees. The top was clearly not done but the bottom would have been overdone if I cooked it longer. I had to cut off the top becaus it was not done.I added vanilla extra too. Didn't care for the glaze, it was a little too tart. I melted some vanilla frosting and poured it over the cake like a glaze.

TO The November 8th entry: The syrup calls for 1/2 C of lemon juice. The 1/3 C of lemon juice goes in the cake. It is listed under the lemon zest.

I made this for our Christmas family gathering, and it was a big hit. Our family doesn't like desserts that are overly sweet, so I reduced the sugar to a little less than 2 cups, and it was sweet enough. Also, instead of the doing the lemon syrup, I made a lemon glaze icing and poured it over the cake. Some lemon lovers didn't feel the cake was lemony enough, so the next time I make it I will do it with the lemon syrup to see if it will be more lemony. This recipe is a keeper!

I love this recipe. Its perfectly sweet and tart. I have now made it five times and every single time that I have made it, I've received rave reviews especially from serious lemon lovers. I have requests for two more.

What a splendid flavor this cake has! It really fills a Bundt pan and gets quite high.
There is a an error in the recipe, however, that will trip you up. If the lemon juice is added just after the eggs, even if everything is well blended and room temperature, the batter will lose structure and appear to curdle, and the crumb of the cake will be coarse and it will not rise well. Add the lemon juice slowly with sour cream, and the cake will be sublime, the best pound cake ever.
