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.

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

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.

I thought that It was a slice bread. Lemon cake, Maybe I can try to do that also. The best thing about it is that was a simple presentation but I think it taste good.
