Lemon Bundt Cake - Day #17 of Food Librarian's I Like Big Bundts 3

Lemon Bundt Cake

I Like Big Bundts - Day #17

It's Day #17 of I Like Big Bundts! We're getting closer to November 15th - National Bundt Day! I hope you have your pan and recipe picked out!

I have about 10 minutes to write up this post. One of my favorite shows, Covert Affairs is back on TV tonight...and I have a book due in a day that I have to finish! :)

This recipe is from the folks at Cook's Illustrated (America's Test Kitchen) and features a double glaze...you pour half the glaze when the cake comes out of the oven, and more an hour later. Um, I was a little distracted and use the whole glaze on the first round, and just whipped up some more for the second one.

 

The submission info can be found here! Bake a bundt for National Bundt Day on November 15th! Then submit a photo or blog post by November 24, 2011 and I'll send you a 1 1/4" button for baking along with me!

Earlier, on Day #2, I made King Arthur Flour's Lemon Bliss Bundt. That Bundt was soft and light. According to Cook's Illustrated, this cake will be softer the first day and then become more like a pound cake the next day. I tried it the second day and it was poundcake like. The King Arthur Cake never got to the second day...the library ate it up in a few hours! Both Bundts are good...try them both and let me know what you liked best! ;) - mary the food librarian
