Lemon Bliss Mini Bundts

My sister has been asking for a lemon cake since a long time. I did make her one but it wasn’t as tangy to her likeness. Today I decided to try a new recipe just for her.


This lemon cake is truly bliss. Moist, tangy and delicious. The glaze just adds a sticky yummy tang to it. I missed putting the glaze for her load but did drizzle some generously on these mini bundts. A recipe worth saving.
