LEMON ZEST BUNDT CAKE

There is nothing that I love more than baking in this world. I just love how the ingredients come together and you get to form this incredible piece of art called Baked Goodies. I also love to try out new things and see how much of the original I can recreate if not make it more exciting and my own. So when I saw a Bundt Cake Recipe, I knew that I had to give it a try. And wouldn't you know, we have a Bundt Cake Pan that has been lying around idle somewhere in the Cabinet.So yeah me! I din't want to just start with a simple Bundt Cake, I wanted flavor so I thought I would use lemon to give it that awesome scent of lemony goodness. It's really simple, baking this Bundt Cake, the process is just the same as making any other cake, it's just the Cake Pan that gives it that shape, so no worries about how to achieve that artistic shape. Isn't baking that awesome? So here we go, let's begin some bakin'

I Cup Butter

4 Eggs

I Cup Milk

3 Cups Flour

With mixer on low alternate adding gradually milk and flour mixture until well incorporated.

This is how the mixture should be turning out. It should be light and creamy. You can add more milk a little at a time to get that creamy consistency.

The final result after adding the grated lemon rind.

Pour the mixture into your greased and floured Bundt Cake Pan, spread the mixture evenly and shake to remove bubbles

Bake for 50-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes before removing from the baking pan. Place cake on cooling rack and let it cool completely. You can prepare ganache or cream and spread on your Bundt Cake or just serve it plain. Serve with drink of your choice
