LEMON ALMOND BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F and properly grease a bundt pan (see notes).
• In the mixing bowl of a stand mixer, combine sugar and lemon zest. Rub between fingers to release the oils in the zest until it's a sand-like texture. Add in the room temperature butter and cream together with a paddle attachment. Add eggs one at a time, beating between each addition until combined. Scrape sides as needed.
• In a separate mixing bowl, stir together salt, baking powder, and cake flour. While the mixer is on stir/low setting, alternate adding the dry ingredients and milk, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. Stir in lemon juice and extracts until just combined.
• Pour batter evenly into the greased bundt pan. Bake for 45-50 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 195-200°F. The edges will be golden brown and the top will bounce back when lightly touched. You can also use the old toothpick trick.
• As the cake bakes, microwave the syrup ingredients (lemon juice and sugar) for 30-second intervals until sugar is melted and a syrup consistency forms. Set aside. You may need to microwave a few more seconds again before spreading.
• Place a cooling rack on top of the bundt pan, then flip so the cake comes out onto the cooling rack. I recommend placing the cooling rack on top of a baking sheet so it catches the syrup drippings. Using a pastry brush, spread the syrup over the warm cake until evenly covered. Continue brushing in until all the syrup is used. Let the cake cool completely.
• Once cake is cooled, stir together the ingredients for the glaze until completely combined. The glaze will be thick; you can adjust with powdered sugar and milk ratios if you prefer a different consistency. Drizzle on top of the cake with a spoon. Top with sliced almonds if desired.
