For some reason, I have always been under the impression that baking a bundt cake would be incredibly difficult. One of my main concerns being that the cake would get stuck inside the tin, I greased mine well with butter and once cooled it turned out from the tin perfectly retaining all the detail. Phew!
Now I have my Tefal Cuisine Companion it makes short work out of making batter for cakes and so I want to try as many variations as possible and also challenged myself to bake once a week. We are always having visitors popping in and out and what's nicer than being able to offer them a slice of homemade cake? Plus it helps make me appear a domestic Goddess when the reality is it most likely only took me a short amount of time to knock a cake up (shhh don't tell anyone)
I have been making the loaf version of lemon drizzle cake for many years. The recipe is foolproof and you will end up with a perfectly moist and zingy lemon drizzle every single time and who doesn't love lemon cake?!
What I have discovered with the Bundt tin
is that it cooks batter much quicker than a traditional tin. I think this is a combination of not being able to line the tin due to the design and that it is aluminium and gets hotter. If you have a cake recipe that you always use and are tempted to try it in a bundt tin then I would recommend cutting the cooking time in half and checking your cake regularly so it doesn't burn.
Enough chat and on with the recipe...

I popped over from a link from You, Baby, Me, Mummy (I agree with her comment, why is this recipe not in a magazine) as immediately greeted with cake that looks so tempting I had to stay...ahh your in Bristol just a train ride away from me ;-)
Anyway, taking on Aby tips of getting more out there in the blogging community I am glad I stopped by here. It is so easy to get wrapped up in your own blog and busyness of our own lifes. I have been blogging nearly 5 years and the blogs I followed at the beginning I have stuck with and not really expanded out of there.
Sorry, waffling... your cake looks totally amazing so beautiful and as your land on your homepage, what a welcome!

This looks fab! My Granny was Austrian & so rocked at these cakes. She'd always make a chocolate & vanilla marbled one when I came to stay, without fail. I must see if my mum has the recipe somewhere as I bought a gorgeous star bundt tin at Christmas.
