Ingredients:

• 2 1/2 cups cake flour
• 1 Tbsp baking powder

• 1 cup milk
• 2 Tbsp lemon jello (for enhanced flavor and color)
• 2 drops yellow food coloring gel (for a vibrant yellow hue)

6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
7. Fold in the lemon jello powder and yellow food coloring gel for extra flavor and color.
8. Pour the batter into the prepared Bundt pan and smooth the top.
9. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving Suggestions:

• Dust with powdered sugar for a simple and elegant finish.
• Drizzle with a lemon glaze (mix powdered sugar, lemon juice, and a little milk for a sweet-tart topping).
• Serve with fresh berries and whipped cream for a refreshing twist.
• Pair with tea or coffee for a delightful afternoon treat.

Storage Tips:

• Store at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
