    Meyer Lemon Bundt Cake

    This Lemon Bundt Cake is so good! All of the great flavor in this recipe comes from fresh lemon juice using some Meyer Lemons. The rest of the cake is as simple as it gets because most of the ingredients may already be in your home. This recipe can be made in no time and you will want to scarf it down, once you take the first bite.

    Ingredients:

    • Baking Powder- Use this to allow the ingredients to rise in the oven.
    • Salt- This will bring out the flavors in the recipe.
    • Sour Cream- This will cut the richness of the dessert in half.
    • Sugar- Every great dessert recipe uses sugar as an ingredient.
    • Eggs- Use these at room temperature.
    • Lemon Zest- Be sure to zest the lemons before juicing them.
    • Vegetable Oil- Use canola oil as a substitute.
    • Vanilla- Use the pure extract for the best flavoring.

    What are Meyer Lemons?

    Meyer Lemons are said to be a cross between a lemon and mandarin orange. This allows the flavor of the lemon to be much sweeter. This lemon can add great flavor that is not too tangy or sour.

    What’s the Difference Between Meyer Lemons and Regular Lemons?

    The flavoring between a Meyer Lemon and Regular lemon is what’s different. A Meyer Lemon is a lot sweeter than a regular lemon. Whereas, a regular lemon is a lot more sour and tangy.

      It took 60 min. to bake at 350 in a Bundt pan not 30. It didn’t have much lemon flavor..
      It was moist and not overly sweet
