Lemon Bundt Cake

I bought a bundt pan several months ago, used it once, then I totally forgot about it!

Fast-forward several months after I made my first bundt cake, I decided to make a Lemon Bundt Cake since I had several lemons on hand.

The recipe was from the Martha Stewart website. Of course my bundt cake did not turn out as pretty as the one on the website (the recipe does state that if it browns too quickly, tent with aluminum foil), but it sure tasted amazing!

The bundt cake was so moist and had such a pleasant lemon flavor!

It's definitely one that I'd make again - and maybe next time I'd add on a cream cheese frosting to make it even more decadent!
