Making This Lemon Pecan Bundt Cake

Anyone can whip up this dessert. All it takes is a few basic ingredients and some time. While the recipe is simple, it creates a stunning and flavorful dessert.

1. Prep and Mix Ingredients

Before mixing, preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit so it’s ready to go once you finish your batter.

For the batter, start by creaming butter and sugar until you achieve a light, fluffy consistency, which may take up to 20 minutes. Next, add eggs one at a time. Between each addition, beat the batter. After adding eggs, reduce the mixer speed and add flour and salt, mixing until fully blended. Then, stir in the lemon extract, pecans and raisins.

2. Bake

Grease and flour a tube pan and spoon in the batter to ensure even coverage on all sides. Place the pan in the preheated oven for 2 1/2 hours. While it bakes, you can clean your kitchen or kick back and relax — your choice.

3. Store and Serve

After baking, leave the cake in the pan for 10 to 15 minutes. Then, run a knife along the sides of the pan and flip the cake onto a wire rack to finish the cooling process.

Once cooled, place in a tightly covered container in a cool place. Let it sit for at least a day before slicing and serving. The cake will last for 3 days at room temperature. If you want it to stay fresher longer, wrap it in plastic and store it in the fridge for up to a week.

This dense, moist cake has a light, airy flavor, creating the perfect contrast. Pecans and raisins studded throughout offer an additional layer of textural appeal.
