We have a lot of eggs on the farm right now. The chickens have started laying a lot and though I love a good fried egg I needed some other recipes to use eggs.

This Gluten Free Lemon Bundt Cake Recipe uses five eggs, so it's perfect to for the excess eggs I've been gathering. I love to use the duck and geese eggs for baking too. I think they make the recipe richer and denser.

This gluten free lemon bundt cake with lemon glaze is easy and quick to mix together and bakes in under an hour. It is delicious served slightly warm with the glaze over it.

If you are looking for a dessert to serve for Easter dinner this would be perfect. It can be made ahead and stored covered for up to two days.

What is the difference between a cake and a bundt cake?

There really isn't that much difference in the cake batter itself. The bundt cake recipe may call for a bit more moisture and/or baking powder as the cake is going to rise higher than a regular layer cake or sheet cake. 

The main difference you might find is that a bundt cake tends to have a crunchier texture on the top. I also love the ease of a bundt cake. The cake gets baked in one pan and then I either drizzle it with a glaze or sprinkle powdered sugar over the top. So much easier than frosting a layer cake!

How do I make my gluten free cakes more moist?

Gluten free baking tends to require more moisture or oil than when you are using regular wheat flour. For this gluten free lemon bundt cake recipe I added the sour cream to make it moist and delicious.

If you are using a cake recipe that isn't turning out moist I would suggest adding a bit more oil or butter. You can also add mashed banana or applesauce to help your baked goods have more moisture.

Description

This easy gluten free lemon bundt cake recipe with lemon glaze is moist and delicious! This is the best gluten free cake and is a yummy dessert to serve.


Ingredients

Cake:
¾ cup Unsalted Butter, at room temperature
1 cup Granulated Sugar
3 large Eggs
⅓ cup Lemon Juice
1 cup Sour Cream
½ cup Milk
2 Tbsp. Lemon Zest
3 cups Gluten Free Flour
2 tsp. Baking Powder
1 tsp. Baking Soda
½ tsp. Sea Salt

Glaze:
1 cup Powdered Sugar
1 tsp. Lemon Extract
1-2 Tbsp. Milk


Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a bundt cake pan with coconut oil or butter. Set aside.

In the bowl of your stand mixer beat the softened unsalted butter with the sugar until creamed together. Add the eggs one at a time beating until mixed together. Add the sour cream, lemon juice, milk and lemon zest. Beat until blended into the batter.

In a mixing bowl whisk together the gluten free flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add this dry mixture ½ cup at a time to the wet ingredients. Mix until all ingredients are just combined. 

Pour batter evenly in the bundt pan and tap a couple of times on the counter to get air bubbles out.

Bake at 350 degrees for 45-50 minutes or until a tooth pick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Let cake cool for 10 minutes in the pan and then invert onto a cooling rack.

After the cake cools completely mix together glaze and pour over cake. I like to put the glaze on right before serving.
