Fresh Strawberry Lemon Bundt Cake
I got a great deal on strawberries this past weekend and needed to figure out something to do with the abundance of strawberries in my refrigerator. Then I remembered I had an amazing recipe for Fresh Strawberry Lemon Bundt Cake.
I had all the ingredients on hand and it looked delicious so I thought I'd give it a try. So, I whipped it up that night and saved it for the next days dessert. This Strawberry Lemon Bundt Cake was so tasty and the perfect ending to our Sunday dinner! If you don't have a Bundt pan (or know someone who doesn't yet have one) I recommend investing in a good one like this Wilton brand pan. I personally like heavier pans, since they hold in heat and stand the test of time.
A Perfect Spring Dessert!
Box mix cakes are so handy and so easy that sometimes making a cake from scratch can seem too time-consuming but this cake was so quick and easy and the little bit of work that is put into it is so worth it!
The strawberries and 7up keep this bundt cake moist and the lemon blends beautifully with the flavor of the strawberries. And it's not terribly sweet which is a big plus for our family!
It really is such a great spring and summer dessert! I think the next time I make this I'll try it with fresh blueberries or raspberries. How yummy would that be? You may also want to try our 3 Ingredient Greek Yogurt Cake Mix Recipe.
