When I was younger, I was definitely more of a chocolate girl. As I’ve gotten older, I find that my sweet tooth has switched gears a bit. The dessert flavor profile that I crave most often these days is lemon—Lemon, lemon, lemon! This easy lemon bundt cake recipe definitely hits the spot, and best of all, it’s really easy to make.

Lemon Bundt Cake Recipe

It’s no secret that I am a pretty big fan of shortcut dessert recipes. This easy lemon bliss bundt cake utilizes a yellow cake mix and lemon instant pudding to make a perfectly moist bundt cake.

I’ve even been thinking about making this a lemon blueberry bundt cake. I think some fresh blueberries in the batter would be a heavenly addition to this dessert.

I’ve also been wanting to experiment with this mini bundt cake pan that I picked up. How insanely cute is it? Hello, my name is Crissy and I’m addicted to buying cute kitchen items on Amazon.
