You’re probably checking the title of the blog and shaking your head in disbelief.  Yes, you are at Sidewalk Shoes, and yes, there two baked goods in one week.  I don’t believe I’ve had two in one year before!  But this is a new me, soon to probably be a larger me, but still it’s a new me.  Guess what, it isn’t nearly as scary as I imagined it to be.  Oh, there was the jigsaw-puzzle Cookies and Cream Blondies mishap.  That mishap ended up being not so bad at all, what with the huge chunks of blondies that we were allowed to eat.

Without further ado, I am proud to display my first ever bundt cake!  But not to be my last, since I joined a group of fellow bloggers who bake a bundt cake once a month.  Meaning that I HAVE TO bake a bundt cake once a month.  Just like I created the “I have to make a cocktail once a week – job.” Next up I expect to create New Shoe Saturday where …. well, you get the drift.

Back to my bundt cake.  My bundt cake – I can’t stop saying those words.  Yes, there were lessons learned along the way – for instance did you know that glaze hardens and if you drizzle way too slowly, agonizingly slowly, that you get ugly little transparent layers instead of nice glossy drips?   Lesson learned.  And did you know that even though your recipe tells you to pour it on a not yet cooled bundt cake and it all melts off or soaks in or something and you go out and google how to ice a bundt cake, you find that your supposed to let it cool?  Lesson learned.

Doesn’t matter.  This was moist and lemony and delicious!  I found it online, of course, it’s Donna Hay, Lemon Yoghurt Bundt Cake with Lemon Icing.  The theme this month was using Girl Scout Cookies as an inspiration, and while I desperately wanted something thin minty, I thought I should keep it easy and be inspired from the Lemonades cookie.  Though, I changed the lemon icing to a limoncello icing – probably not a very girl scoutish thing to do.  Though I was a girl scout, so it’s okay.

  20. What I love the most about baking together in a group is that we learn a lot. Sometimes by doing new things and at other times by just reading the challenges fellow bloggers face. Thank you for the tips about icing the bundt when it is cooled off. I will keep it in mind.

  33. What a beautiful bundt! I cannot believe that it’s your first ever! There’s nothing better than a bright citrusy bundt with a light glaze, so this was the perfect cookie to use as your inspiration.
    Welcome to the group- I hope you enjoy baking each month. You can always give some of the bounty away- I always bring my bundts to work so they’re not in the house tempting me!
