I’ve always loved a Bundt cake. There’s something about the slightly crispy exterior and the soft inside that just goes so well together with a nice cup of coffee.

I had a few extra lemons in the fridge that would’ve gone bad if I didn’t use them soon, so I decided to bake a lemon Bundt with them.. honestly I just needed something super simple and quick to bake because 1) needed to use up my lemons, 2) needed to keep my 15 month old occupied while my two old slept and 3) I needed sugar for extra energy to juggle these to kiddos and fast! Lol

So needless to say if I can bake this with an extremely energetic 1 year old and a two week old new born then it’s definitely a super simple bake!

Here’s how you bake it!

• 385g (3 cups) flour
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp sea salt
• 225g butter, room temp.
