Ingredients

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 Tbsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp pure almond extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3 cups all purpose flour
  • 1 3.4 oz instant lemon pudding mix
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 2 Tbsp fresh lemon zest
  • Lemon Butter Sauce:
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 5 Tbsp unsalted butter

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F Butter and flour a standard bundt pan or spray with baking spray. Set aside.
  • Using an electric mixer, cream together the butter, sugar, vanilla and almond extracts for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the eggs one at time beating well after each addition.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, pudding mix, baking powder and salt.

  • Add the lemon zest and beat just until fully combined stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Spread into the prepared pan. Bake for 55-60 minutes or until a long skewer inserted into the center comes back clean.
  • Meanwhile, on the stovetop in a small saucepan, melt together the sugar, butter and lemon juice just until melted, do not boil.
  • Immediately after removing the cake from the oven, use a long skewer to poke holes all over the top and into the cake.
