This month the #BundtBakers are bringing out their best lemon bunts. In true LTG style, we kicked this classic lemon cake up a notch by infusing it with fresh lemon and mint, then topping it off with a Limoncello drizzle.
Anne of From My Sweet Heart is leading the pack this month. When it comes to desserts, Anne is queen in my opinion so it only seems right that she should be in charge of a bundt bakers group.
It's hard to believe that we are already halfway through June, but lemons are a perfect way to welcome the warm weather.
These sunny bright fruits have inspired many fabulous cakes this month, so be sure to check below for inspiration!
We started with a basic vanilla cake recipe, then swapped the vanilla for lemon. The finishing touch to the batter was the fresh mint we pulled from the garden. The batter should be light and airy, but thick enough.
The best part was filling our new mini bundt pan because we are all about individual servings when it comes to cake 😉
Once the cakes were cooled, we turned them over and topped each off with a Limoncello Drizzle.
The result was nothing short of delicious. Mom likened these little gems to Twinkie cakes. I think that is the ultimate compliment.
