Happy National Bundt Day!

There’s a woman out in California named Mary. She’s a librarian who loves to bake. She started baking 30 bundts in 30 days. She’s a little bit crazy. That makes me like her a little bit more than I did before the bundts happened.

Last week I got a bundt pan at TJ Maxx for 7 dollars. I’m pretty sure it was mismarked. But you better believe I snatched that cutie right up.

I had a hard time deciding which bundt to make, but I knew I wanted to use buttermilk since I had some leftover from those amazing biscuits.

Hello my first beautiful bundt.  I know I love you.

Lemon Poppyseed Bundt

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups white whole-wheat flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup poppy seeds
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons freshly grated lemon zest
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 2 large egg whites, at room temperature
  • 1 1/4 cups sugar
  • Lemon Glaze
  • 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 12-cup Bundt pan, preferably nonstick, with cooking spray and dust with flour (or use cooking spray with flour).
  2. Whisk whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Combine buttermilk, oil, vanilla, lemon zest and lemon juice in a glass measuring cup.
  3. Beat eggs, egg whites and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until thickened and pale, about 5 minutes.
  4. Fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture with a rubber spatula, a third at a time, alternating with 2 additions of the buttermilk mixture. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan, spreading evenly.
  5. Bake the cake until the top springs back when touched lightly and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
  6. To prepare glaze: Sift 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar into a small bowl; mix with lemon juice and water to create a thin glaze. Poke 1-inch-deep holes all over the cake with a skewer. Pour glaze all over warm cake and serve.

      Thank you! It was good. It’s my dad’s favorite so I ended up giving it to him.
