Lemon Bundt Cake with Orange Glaze

Apparently those easy lemon cookies with lemon glaze have truly changed my taste buds because I couldn't wait to bake—and eat—this lemon bundt cake with orange glaze.

And eat it I did.

What takes this lemon bundt cake from delicious to divine is the orange glaze. Poured over the warm bundt, it soaks right into the cake giving it a hint of orange flavor and an extra dash of moistness.

Sorry if you're not a fan of the word "moist" but this cake truly is just that.

Wait, let's get a closeup of all that moist.

Though the recipe has you pouring the glaze over the lemon bundt cake after flipping it onto a serving platter, next time I think I'll try the method used in glazed lemon poppy seed bundt cake and pour it around the bundt while it's still in the pan.
