Lemon Bundt Cake is a delicious, spongy cake made by baking a blend of flour flavoured with lemon zest & extract, butter & sugar in a bundt mold and topped up with glaze of lemon juice. Lemon Bundt Cake makes moments a celebration and commonly made during Christmas. Lemon Bundt is a flavourful treat that has to be tried for the joy of baking.
I always love healthy bakes so am trying to bake cakes and cookies using whole wheat flour.This was one such try and I used cane sugar for this recipe.Though the cakes were a bit dense as you can see,the flavour and texture was amazing so no complaints. I loved the lemon flavour in the cake and with the lemon syrup drizzle the cake was outstanding.If you like lemon flavour in cakes then am sure you will fall for it as I did.This is the first time I am tasting this flavour in cakes and I so love it.
I have failed many times using whole wheat flour for cakes during my initial days of baking, but now I can confidently say my whole wheat bakes are liked by all and mittu is so fond of homemade cakes that she always asks me to keep homemade cakes and cookies for her snackbox .I soo wish I could bake often as I would love to but time is the major factor.

I baked this cake for fathers day…and it came out very good. I do not have a bundt mould and used a small cake pan. Baked it for around 30 minutes. It seemed it could do with more baking, but I was unsure and you had cautioned against overbaking. It was really yum. Thank you.
