Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your Bundt pan thoroughly.
In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, beat the butter until creamy and gradually add sugar until light and fluffy.
Mix in eggs one at a time, followed by lemon zest, vanilla extract, milk, sour cream, and lemon juice until well combined.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Pour batter into the prepared Bundt pan and bake for about 70 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow cooling in the pan for about 20 minutes before transferring it to a cooling rack.
Prepare the glaze by whisking melted butter with powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice; drizzle over the cooled cake.
