Notes
Helpful hints:
1. Tip for removing cake from Bundt® pan: Right out of the oven, gently slide a small rubber spatula around the edges to loosen the cake from the pan. Cool upright in the pan for 5 minutes. Then turn pan upside-down on a cooling rack and cool an additional 5 minutes in the pan. Gently tap on pan and shake pan side to side to remove cake.
2. To sweeten this cake and enhance the lemon flavor, try using a lemon glaze in place of the dusting of confectioners’ sugar. Mix ½ cup confectioners’ sugar with 1-2 tablespoons concentrated lemon juice and drizzle over the cooled cake before slicing.
