Lightened Up Lemon Bundt Cake

My mom gets the weekly Woman's World magazine. You can bet on it, every Sunday she makes her trip to the Walmart and this is in her cart when she checks out. I like this magazine too. It has little stories, tips, recipes and there is always a lightened up recipe. I have made muffins and bread from this magazine and knew that I would want to make this lemon cake. This was another one that I wasn't disappointed with.

Lightened Up Lemon Bundt Cake
From:Womans World Magazine

4 cups AP flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
3/4 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups refrigerated liquid egg substitute
1 1/2 cups sugar
2/3 cup oil
1 container (6oz) low fat lemon yogurt
1/2 cup plus 3 Tbsp lemon juice
3 Tbsp grated lemon zest
2 cups confectioners sugar

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a 12 cup Bundt pan with cooking spray. Combine flour, baking powder, salt and soda; reserve. On medium-high speed, beat egg substitute, sugar, oil, yogurt and 1/2 cup lemon juice until combined. On medium-low speed, gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in zest. Pour into pan. Bake 45 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool 20 minutes. Remove from pan to rack; cool completely. Whisk together confectioners sugar and 3 Tbsp lemon juice until smooth; poor over cake.

  1. This looks great! I love lighter, healthier desserts!!! How many eggs would this need? Egg substitute isn't available here!

  6. While I might have seen that magazine I've never "checked" it out.

    Your cake looks fabulous. It almost looks like there's a filling.
