Ingredients

  • 2 cups all- flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp baking soda
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ sticks 3/4 cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • ½ tsp cloves
  • ½ tsp allspice
  • zest of one lemon
  • 3 eggs
  • ½ cup buttermilk I used almond milk with a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar whisked into it
  • ¼ cup Limoncello
  • For the glaze:
  • 2 cups powdered sugar sifted
  • 2 Tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 Tablespoon Limoncello or just use lemon juice
  • 1-2 Tablespoons milk

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.  Place a rack in the center of the oven.  Grease and flour your bundt pan. I personally prefer to use baking spray for bundt pans.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cocoa powder.
  • In a stand mixer, blend the butter, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and lemon zest. Beat 3-5 minutes, until light and fluffy. Reduce the speed to low and beat in the eggs one at a time. Stop the mixer to scrape the sides of the bowl to incorporate the eggs. Add half of the flour mixture to the butter mixture on low speed. Then add half of the buttermilk and the Limoncello, the remaining flour mixture, and the remaining buttermilk. Beat until combined
  • Spoon batter into pan.Bake for 1/2 on hour at 350 then lower the heat to 325 and bake for about another  20-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean.  Allow cake to cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then turn cake out onto a wire rack to cool completely. While cake is cooling, whisk together the glaze ingredients; set aside. Drizzle on Limoncello glaze and ENJOY!
