This month citrus season starts in California. Every time I see the abundance of citrus it puts a smile on my face. I can't wait to make lots of citrus treats this year.
I've made quite a few tasty treats from The Joy of Vegan Baking. I saw one for a Lemon Bundt Cake and knew I had my next recipe.

Not only was there plenty of lemon in the cake recipe but there was also a lemon sauce that just put this cake over the top. It had rind and lemon juice in it. YUM!
Lemon Sauce |
This cake was airy and lemony (surprise). I didn't have a feeling of eating something really heavy after finishing the piece. Perfect balance! It was a nice change from the muffins and cookies I'd been bringing into work.

Judging by the empty plate I found I'd say it was a hit with my co-workers. Phew another success with vegan treats at work.
What are some of your favorite ways to use lemon?
What a pretty cake! I liked reading about your childhood memories. We have several fruit trees, and I'm hoping they'll cultivate fond memories for my children, too.
ReplyDeleteI love lemony baked goods and your bundt cake looks fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy Vegan Soul Kitchen!
Yay citrus season! I can't wait for shasta golden nugget mandarins to be at the farmers market. :)
ReplyDeletei've never lived anywhere where citrus has a season. it's hard for me to even imagine picking a lemon straight from a tree, but it sounds divine.
ReplyDeleteI love lemon anything, so excuse me while I drool over this cake for a bit. Picking citrus right from the tree sounds amazing. I'd like to get the chance to do that someday.
ReplyDeleteI recently bought myself a bunt pan & I've only made a chocolate one so far. I think this'll have to be next.
ReplyDeleteYum, that sure looks tasty. My favorite way to eat lemons are in the form of a tart or maybe in a lemon coconut loaf. Lemon + coconut = perfection.
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to make this to recover from the maple bundt disaster last Thanksgiving. I will have to give it a try soon.
ReplyDeletei have to get a bundt pan.. so many amazing bundt recipes.. and a lemon one is always a keeper!
