Lemon Bundt Cake

“This recipe turned out really well. It looked and tasted great and is an excellent recipe to make for lemon lovers (and pound cake lovers, too). I appreciated the extra tips for preparing the pan.” —Lisa Varner

From the Recipe Creator:
Reports Margery Bryan of Royal City, Washington, 'This is one of the best and easiest meals I've ever made. It has only four ingredients, and they all go into the pot at once. The meat is nicely seasoned and makes its own gravy-it tastes wonderful when you serve it over mashed potatoes.'
“Good solid recipe that will never let you down. Jazz it up with your own touches to make it extra special!” —Trisha Kruse

“What a perfect recipe for using all that rhubarb growing in your garden! The combination with the cherry pie filling is delicious. I followed the recipe exactly, and my family loved it. It’s the perfect blend of sweet and sour with a nice sweet crunch from the crumb topping. I served it warm and topped with vanilla ice cream.” —Susan Bickta

These indulgent vegan chocolate cupcakes have no butter, eggs or dairy milk, but you'd never guess it. This recipe is perfect for potlucks and family gatherings that include guests with food restrictions. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
