Moist and cakey vanilla almond bundt cake glazed with lemon icing and topped with silvered almonds. Delicious dessert perfect for any occasion!
One of the easiest recipe that you can make with few simple ingredients. It is moist thanks to the almond meal and lots of butter. The glaze on top adds additional lemon flavor. Definitely, I think it is perfect for an Easter brunch or as a dessert after dinner. However, you can bake any other holiday! Your guests will love it and they will be asking for more.
How to make Vanilla Bundt Cake
First of all prepare all ingredients. All-purpose flour, almond flour, baking powder, unsalted butter, cane sugar, eggs and vanilla extract. Secondly, combine all flours together with baking powder and set aside. Thirdly, beat butter with sugar using electric mixer. Add eggs each at a time, add vanilla extract. Finally, combine dry ingredients with wet ingredients. Bake at 350 F for about 45 minutes.
How to make Bundt Cake Glaze
Firstly, combine powdered sugar with freshly squeezed lemon juice. Add 2 tablespoons of water. Check the consistency of the icing. If it is too thick add a little more water. It it will become too watery add some powdered sugar. You just need to find a perfect balance. However, try not to make it too watery or too thick.
Tips to make Moist Cake
- In this bundt cake the almond flour adds some moisture. It has equal amount of all purpose flour and almond flour. I don’t recommend to replace the almond flour with another flour.
- Also, add more vanilla extract if you prefer stronger flavor.
- Bake in 9″ bundt cake pan or preferably smaller. I used my 9″ because this is the one that I have at home. The cake wasn’t very high but it was perfect. However, I think smaller pan would be better.
- Moreover, glaze with lemon icing when the cake is not hot. Otherwise the icing will melt and it will drip out from the bundt cake.
- In addition, add silvered almonds exactly at the same time when glazing.

March 24, 2016 at 5:51 PMLooks and sounds delicious. What is the icing on the top?
Ilona
March 24, 2016 at 11:15 PMThank you so much Jenn! The icing on the cake is only icing with milk and powdered sugar. About 1 – 2 tsp.milk and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar. Warm up the milk, add the powdered sugar and whisk vigorously. If it’s to watery add some powdered sugar, if it’s too thick add a little more milk. Then decorate the bundt cake right away with the icing.

January 15, 2019 at 6:28 PMMade this cake last night, tightly covered it then iced and served this afternoon. Dry. Not at all soft and moist. Thank goodness for ice cream. Followed recipe exactly. Measured precisely. No changes made. Baked as directed for 40 minutes. Anyone else experience this? What went wrong?
Ilona
January 17, 2019 at 6:10 PMI am sorry that you had unsuccessful baking. I will retest that recipe again. I am not sure what went wrong, maybe baked to much (different ovens bake differently) or maybe butter and sugar needs more beating with the mixer. Also, this cake is not the kind of a wet cake but it is not dry either. I will definitely make it again to see how it is. Thank you for your comment and trying my recipe Julia!
