Ingredients
To grease the pan
1 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 tsp flour
For the cake
3 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 3/4 cups sugar
4 eggs, room temperature
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup buttermilk, room temperature
1/3 cup lemon juice
3 tbsp lemon zest
For the glaze
1 1/2 cups icing sugar

Instructions
Heat oven to 350°F.
In a small bowl, mix together butter and flour for pan grease. Brush liberally into 10-cup Bundt pan; set pan aside.
Grease your Bundt pan with a mixture of butter and flour. (The Great Canadian Baking Show)
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar with hand mixer on high, until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, scraping down bowl between additions. Add vanilla.
You'll want to use a hand mixer for this, unless you have really, really strong forearms. (The Great Canadian Baking Show)
Add flour mixture to egg mixture in three additions, alternating with buttermilk and lemon juice.
If the mixture starts to curdle, beat on high after each flour addition to bring it back together.
Stir in lemon zest.
Spoon into prepared pan, smoothing batter with a spatula.
Smooth your batter with a spatula as you put it in the pan. (The Great Canadian Baking Show)
