Even though the bananas for the banana bundt were unusable, I was determined to put on a show for Tuesday's TWD night, so I found a very promising looking recipe for a Lemon Bundt from Recipezaar. It was easy to make and quite quick - the baking time is an hour but I think mine was done in about 50 minutes - it's a teeny bit dry around the edges even then.
Right now it's cooling but I'll pour some lemon glaze over it before cutting it. I think it will make a nice cake for a hot, humid summer day.
