Instructions

4. Mix in the melted butter and coconut oil gradually until smooth, then blend in the vanilla flavor

5. Add the buttermilk, Greek yogurt, part of the lemon juice, part of the lemon zest, and food coloring if using, then mix until creamy

6. Slowly add the dry ingredients while mixing on low speed just until combined

7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and gently tap it on the counter to remove air pockets

8. Bake until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean and the cake feels set

9. Allow the cake to cool briefly in the pan before turning it out onto a cooling rack

10. Whisk the powdered sugar with lemon juice until a thick glaze forms

11. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake and finish with remaining lemon zest

Notes

Use room temperature eggs and dairy for a smoother batter and better texture

Fresh lemon juice and zest provide the best flavor and aroma

Avoid overmixing once the flour is added to keep the cake tender

Grease the bundt pan thoroughly to prevent sticking

Allow the cake to cool fully before glazing for best presentation
