Hey Recipe Critic readers! This is Chelsea back from Chelsea’s Messy Apron. I hope you are all enjoying your summer and eating lots of great food! This lemon bundt cake has been top on our favorites this summer. While maybe not a typical summer treat (meaning you have to turn on your oven), the colors totally make it seem like a fun summer cake. This cake starts with a boxed mix which honestly I think is the best! It saves tons of time and you have a super intense and delicious lemon flavor which is sometimes hard to come by in a from scratch lemon cake (I’ve tried lots!) I did make this cake with a glaze and a few weeks later with a buttercream and the buttercream was everyone’s voted favorite. The buttercream is absolutely delicious and bursting with fresh lemon flavor. If you’ve never tried lemon extract, you’ll be amazed how much it boosts the lemon flavor. You can find lemon extract usually on a baking or spices aisle right by other baking extracts (vanilla, almond, etc.) I hope you all love this cake! M
