| I'm looking for a lemon bundt cake recipe that produces a heavy cake not a light fluffy textured cake. Also, prefer it to be a made from scratch becaue I don't have any cake mixes or pudding on hand and I would like to make it tomorrow if possible. I think I read on one of the treads that Nancy has a great recipe. I did a search but didn't come up with what I was looking fo. Thank you - Karen |

| Here is the one I have made for years and years...it is heavy and rich and delicious. I always make the glaze and let it drip into the cake. It is very yum. Good Luck ! c |

| I've been looking at a Martha Stewart Lemon Pound Cake recipe, but haven't made it yet. It says at the bottom of the recipe it can be made in a bundt pan instead of two smaller loaf pans. At the bottom of the page there is also a Meyer Lemon Pound cake recipe link. That looks good too. In any case it sounds like you want a pound cake recipe. If you already have a favorite one I'm sure you could adapt it to be lemon based. |

| My recipe is pretty much the same as the MS recipe linked by coconut-nj. I also make it in loaf vs bundt pans for the reason georgysmom mentions. I've noticed whenever I make a bundt cake, people take smaller slices or seem to avoid it. But when I make loaves or other "familiar" shapes...people eat it up. Isn't that funny? I think, psychologically, people must view a bundt shape as too dessertish and therefore more unhealthy...but a loaf is okay. Haha! What do I know! That wasn't your question! The Tuscan lemon cake trailrunner linked looks good, too...I'd go over the cake twice with the glaze, though, because I like a lot of glaze on lemon cakes. |

| I am not a fan of the poppyseed versions of lemon cakes. I remember they were really popular years ago. I much prefer a really "lemony" cake with a dense texture. If that is what you are hoping to achieve, here are a couple more that may be worth considering. Lemon Yogurt Cake Ingredients Directions Meanwhile, cook the 1/3 cup lemon juice and remaining 1/3 cup sugar in a small pan until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is clear. Set aside. When the cake is done, allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Carefully place on a baking rack over a sheet pan. While the cake is still warm, pour the lemon-sugar mixture over the cake and allow it to soak in. Cool. Glazed Lemon Sour Cream Cake Note this cake may be prepared up to 3 days in advance, and kept at room temperature, tightly covered. The cake can also be wrapped tightly in aluminum foil and frozen for up to 2 months. Serve with seasonal berries and a dollop of whipped cream. Ingredients: Directions: 2. In a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed, or in a food processor fitted with the metal blade, beat the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Beat in the eggs, zest, and lemon extract and mix for 2 minutes. 3. Reduce the mixer to the lowest speed, add half the flour mixture, and mix until well combined. Add half the sour cream, mixing constantly, and then add the rest of the flour and sour cream, ending with the sour cream. 5. Using a wire strainer, sift the powdered sugar into a small non-aluminum bowl. Add the juice and lemon zest, and whisk to break up any clumps. 6. Place the cake on a wax paper-lined rimmed baking sheet. Using a long skewer, poke holes in the cake almost going through the bottom at 1-inch intervals. Slowly pour the glaze over the cake, making sure it�s absorbed as you pour. Let the cake come to room temperature. Linda |

| Okay, I made Linda (doucanoe's)recipe for the Glazed Lemon Sour Cream cake because it called for everything I had on hand except the lemon extract so I just added 1/4 cup of fresh lemon juice and it turned out perfect. I gave the whole cake away to people in our park here in Florida. They loved it. It saved me from eating at least 1,000 calories and it satisfied my need for baking. Oh, I did save two pieces for Steve and I for dinner tonight. Thanks to everyone. I will try others when I get what I need. |

| Coconut, I made the Martha Stewart recipe you linked to. They are now on the rack cooling, waiting to be glazed. Thanks for posting the link! Update: Here they are with the glaze! |

| YUM!! Oh, Pat, you've done it now. I want some!! And Linda, thanks for those recipes. I can never have too many lemon "something" recipes! Love lemon! |

| Glad it worked our for you, Karen. It's Beth's recipe but I haven't seen her post in quite a while. You're welcome MT4K! Linda |

| Here I am! I've confess I've become a bit of a lurker, as I've only posted on a couple of threads lately. The last thread was the discussion on souffles, so that tells you it was a while ago! :) I was glad to see that Linda considered my recipe good enough to post again. I've served this Glazed Sour Cream Lemon Bundt Cake many times for brunches & luncheons and it's always a winner. Thanks Linda for offering it up! |
