Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Make sure to grease and flour a bundt pan so that the cake won’t stick.
2. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and sugar together until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, ensuring you mix well after each addition. This helps the batter to stay smooth.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together. You’ll add this to the butter mixture a little at a time, alternating with the sour cream. Mix well.
5. Gently stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Combine everything just until it’s mixed well.
6. Pour your batter evenly into the prepared bundt pan.
7. Bake for about 60-70 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
8. Let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy!
