LEMON CREAM BUNDT® CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously grease a large fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®).
• Blend cream cheese and shortening in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add flour, milk, lemon zest, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low speed just until thoroughly blended, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes.
• While the cake is baking, mix sugar and lemon juice until sugar is dissolved.
• Remove the cake from the oven. Pour the lemon glaze over the hot cake, allowing it to run down the edges between the cake and the pan. Cool in the pan for 30 minutes. Remove from the pan and cool completely.

LEMON CREAM CHEESE BUNDT CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a standard sized 10 inch bundt pan with nonstick spray, making sure to get into all the corners and crevices.
• In a medium sized bowl, add the flour, baking soda, and salt, and whisk them together. Set it aside.
• Add the butter and sugar to a stand mixer with a paddle attachment (or use a large bowl with a hand mixer) and mix them together until light and fluffy. Make sure to scrape down the sides.
• Add the eggs one at a time, stirring them in fully before adding the next one.
• Add in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla and mix to combine. Scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl.
• Add in half the flour mixture, and mix until just combined. Then add in half the sour cream, mix it in. Then repeat with the rest of the flour, then sour cream. Make sure to scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula to get everything included.
• Add in the food coloring and mix it in well to your desired color, with no streaks. Set the batter aside.
• In another medium bowl, whip the cream cheese until nice and smooth with a hand mixer, or stand mixer.
• Add the sugar and stir until combined.
• Add in the egg, lemon zest, and vanilla extract and mix it until it's smooth and combined.
• Pour about half of the cake batter into the prepared bundt pan.
• Spoon the cream cheese filling over the top of the cake batter, keeping it away from the edges and middle of the pan.
• Add the remaining cake batter to the top, and smooth out the top evenly.
• Bake the cake for 60 to 75 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. A few moist crumbs are okay.
• Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• When the cake is cool, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and milk in a medium sized bowl until smooth. Start with 4 TBS of milk and add more if needed. The glaze should be thick, but pourable.
• Place the cake onto a cake stand, or serving plate. Pour the glaze evenly over the cake.
• Let the glaze sit for about 30 minutes until it is set.
• Slice it into slices and enjoy.
