Questions & Replies

  1. It seems strange that there's no lemon in the cake itself. I would zest the lemon into the white sugar that goes in the batter to add more lemon flavor.
     
  2. Could I make this with fresh raspberries; would I still use lemon or switch to a lime?
     
  3. How do you "print" a copy of recipe?

  1. One of the best bundt cakes I'ver ever made and eaten. It was moist and flavorful thanks to the lemon. Used some fresh blueberries I had on hand and it was perfect!
     
  2. I made an account on this site (finally) just to write this review. This cake is amazing! I only had a 6 cup bundt cake pan so I halved the recipe and baked for about 45 minutes. I added a bit more lemon zest into the batter as well. This was the first bundt cake I've ever made and I'll definitely be making it again soon.
     
  3. Today I made this cake, after trying to find a good recipe for lemon cake and this one is Super good and very moist I followed as directed , and in the end of my batter I added 2 spoons of fresh lemon juice, perfect a recipe to keep thanks allot Shannon for posting It :)
     
  4. I have made this twice and the cake is so, so delicious!! The only problem I have is getting the glaze the right texture. The first time it was just way too thin. The second time it was better and it tasted good but it doesn't look like the picture. Regardless, like I said, it is delicious and everyone asks me for the recipe.
     
  5. Despite all the steps this was pretty easy to make and looks GORGEOUS! Loved the taste - blueberries and lemon together: what a wonderful combination. Thank you for sharing this Shannon!

Tweaks

  1. This cake came out beautiful & is delicious. I love a real lemony flavor & usually never find that using real lemons/lemon juice. For my business, when I make my lemon cakes, I use thawed frozen lemonade concentrate & they're delicious...one of my top sellers. So, for this cake, I added 2 TBL thawed lemonade concentrate to the batter and for the glaze, I added 2-3 TBL of the lemonade concentrate instead of lemon juice. It gave me that puckering lemony taste I love. Great cake! Thanks for sharing!
     
  2. I used yogurt instead of sour cream. Everything else remains the same. This cake came out absolutely moist, delicious and the crumb is soft and fluffy. Excellent recipe.
     
  3. Substituted sweetener for part of the sugar and baked it in a large, flat pan.
     
  4. I've made this a few times with several different kinds of glaze. It's fantastic with any glaze you prefer. I use lemon juice instead of the lemon zest... (which I actually often forget to add and it's still just as good.) It Freezes very well and is a favorite in our house for sure. Thanks for such a great recipe!!!
