This is the easiest bundt cake recipe on the internet.
Step 1: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease the mini bundt cake pan with the softened butter. You can use cooking spray too, but butter works much better.
The mini bundt cake pan should look like this when you are done greasing it.
Step 2: Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color.
Step 3: Add eggs one at a time, alternating with flour, allowing each egg and portion of flour to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Stir lemon juice and zest into flour mixture until cake batter is just combined.
Step 4: Pour prepared lemon cake batter into greased mini bundt cakes pan.
Step 5: Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Let the bundt cake pan cool for at-least 15 minutes before removing from pan.
Step 6: Prepare a wire rack. After the bundt cakes cool completely, flip the bundt cake pan over and give it a tap with a wooden spoon. The mini bundt cakes should easily come out. If you are having trouble with this step, see my FAQ section below.
Step 7: While the lemon cakes continue to cool to room temperature, let's make our lemon glaze. In a stand mixer, add lemon juice and powdered sugar and mix on the low setting until a frosting glaze forms.
Step 8: Add fresh lemon zest and whisk together.
Step 9: Once the mini lemon bundt cakes have completely cooled, you can now frost your cakes. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cakes on with a spoon and top with more lemon zest. Serve with coffee or tea and enjoy!

How long should a bundt cake cool before you apply a glaze to it?
- I cannot stress this enough, the more time the lemon bundt cakes cool, the better. At least 15 minutes.
- I recommend even longer for a smooth transition when removing the bundt cakes from the bundt cake pan.
Do I need baking soda or baking powder for this recipe?

How To get a cake out of a bundt pan?

- Lay a dishtowel on your countertop and (gently) bang the edges of your pan. This can help loosen up the cake from the sides of the pan.
- If all else fails, let gravity do it's job.
