Lemon Bundt Cake

It is almost Easter time and spring seems to have come here early this year. I love flavoring everything with citrus at this time of year. It kind of awakens the senses after a long winter’s sleep. Our daughter has been craving lemon also. Asking it I could make her a lemon loaf or cake. She was thrilled when she came home to this glorious Brunch Lemon Bundt made with lots of great #CanadianEggs.

I thought this bundt would be perfect also for a spring or Easter brunch. It is simple to serve and makes a lovely presentation on a buffet table. The lemon is mild but just perfect for this glorious bundt.

When baking, your house is filled with the wonderful aroma from the eggs and lemon. I love that smell of an eggy dessert, it smells divine. Canadian eggs are fresh, local and high quality. We always have lots of them around in this household. I love making everything from breakfast to dessert with wonderful eggs.
