Easy Lemon Bundt Cake

My love for lemon continues with this lemon bundt cake! I love a good bundt cake, so moist and delicious and this lemon version is to. die. for!!! Then to top it off, you drizzle on some sweet, lemon sour cream sauce. The tangy sour cream is mixed with some tart lemon juice & zest then a little powdered sugar to sweeten it up just the right amount. Add some strawberries to finish it off for a truly, amazing dessert.

This bundt is so moist! I hate to say it but there is no other word to describe this cake! Nobody would ever know you started with a box of lemon cake mix. This cake taste like you purchased it from a bake shop!

Can you use other fruit in this recipe?

You could top this with any fruit that you enjoy with lemon. Blueberries would be my next choice, or raspberries!

Can I use a yellow cake mix instead of the lemon cake mix?

Yes, you could use a yellow cake mix in place of the lemon cake mix. It won’t be as strong of a lemon flavor.

-If you don't want to make the lemon sour cream sauce, you could top this cake with powdered sugar or a cream cheese frosting as well. 

-The white chocolate chips are optional, but I love the added sweetness it gives this bundt cake.
