Seriously, how long did you think I was going to wait before breaking in the bundt pan? Apparently not much more than 24 hours. This is the Coconut Lemon Bundt Cake from Veganomicon. And it’s a very forgiving recipe. I actually ended up being short on sugar and probably subbed about 1/4 cup of brown sugar for some of it. I was also probably short a little bit of lemon zest. And then we have my fun-loving oven that decided to pop up by 100 degrees during the first 20 minutes of baking. I turned it down twice and never was able to get it all the way down to the suggested cooking temperature. No matter. It came out moist on the inside, lightly browned and a little bit crisp on the outside. I suspect the crispiness will go away once it cools which is always what seems to happen. But I love that the crazy oven temps didn’t ruin the cake. And just look at it!

Time To Bundt

Look what I found at Ross for $15:

Yep, this the cast aluminum fancy one that normally sells for $25+. Especially nice since I didn’t have a bundt pan and need one. Well, needed one in the way that I need to have a big ol’ cake sitting around my house, which is not at all. But still, I can’t wait to try it out. Watch this space for future experiments in cake building.
