Ingredients

  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1½ cups granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and set aside a greased 9.5-inch bundt pan.

  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and ground cardamom. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, beat butter, sugar, and lemon zest on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla, one at a time, mixing completely after each addition.
  4. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Transfer batter to prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean, about 50 to 60 minutes. Cool in the pan for 20 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Cake can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 3 days.
