Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup limoncello
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • For the Glaze:
  • 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons limoncello
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the milk, limoncello, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. For the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, limoncello, and lemon juice until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled cake.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for the best cake texture.
  • You can substitute lemon extract for limoncello if it’s not available, but limoncello adds a unique depth of flavor.
  • For a stronger limoncello flavor, you can add an additional tablespoon of limoncello to the batter.
