It’s time for another addition of the Secret Recipe Club!
This month I was assigned Canela Kitchen. I was excited to check out a new blog and Gloria did not disappoint. There were just so many recipes I wanted to make. I planned on making her Crabmeat Canelloni, but the weekend got away from me. I spent all day Saturday making a brisket and I wanted to make something easy. And sweet.
Then I discovered Gloria’s love of lemon. She likes it more than chocolate! I’m not quite there, but I do love a really good lemon recipe. I was torn between her Lemon Puddings, Lemon Meringue Bread Pudding (OMG!), and this bundt cake. Per the usual when I can’t decide, I let Mike pick, and bundt cake it was. I have major plans to make the bread pudding and a few other recipes from Gloria’s blog. You really need to check her out.
This cake is moist, delicious, and really easy to make. My house smelled fabulous all morning, and I came home from my lunch shift to find almost half the cake was gone. I guess Mike and the boys liked it. 😉 I’m thinking about making a macaron version of this cake. It could be magic.
