This Meyer lemon bundt cake is moist, tender, lusciously tangy and not too sweet! Soooo GOOD!
I’m officially obsessed with Meyer lemons, so when I see them in the store I snag a bag. I suggest you purchase some Meyer lemons, run home and bake this yummy cake.
There is just something magical about a lemon cake when Spring finally comes around. It’s divine!
What’s the Difference Between Meyer Lemons and Regular Lemons?
The Meyer lemon is more round than a true lemon and its skin is fragrant and thin. Meyer lemons have a sweeter taste and are less acidic than the more common lemon varieties.
A Meyer lemon is a cross between a citron and a mandarin/pomelo hybrid. It was introduced to the United States in the early 1900s by Frank Meyer, who collected a sample on a trip to China.
Today, the Meyer lemon is enjoyed by chefs and home cooks alike. Use this when you’re looking for the pop of lemon flavor without the acidic bite in all of your favorite recipes.

How To Make a Meyer Lemon Pound Cake
Mix up the ingredients, pour in into your bundt pan and bake away. (This mixing process is really easy and self-explanatory so I didn’t publish any of those photos.)
Once completely cooled, whip up the glaze and pour over cake.
Serve and devour!

December 12, 2016Made this delicious cake yesterday and there is a small piece left today. Each of us had 2 pieces the first day, it was that good! I have a small Meyer lemon tree and used 2 of my precious lemons from it. I was hoping that I wasn’t wasting them on a dud recipe and I sure didn’t waste them!
DSTR
December 13, 2016Oh, Kara, I’m so glad you guys enjoyed the cake!!! I’m envious of your Meyer lemon tree, I so wish I could grow one myself! Thank you so much for dropping by to let me know you liked the recipe. Makes my day 🙂
