I too loved the "denuded" lemons. It makes perfect sense to me. I just took this out of the oven and it smells heavenly. I like the heavenly glow in the picture of the cake in the oven. My Nordic ware bundt pan measures 9x4" and was way too small for all the batter, so I squeaked enough extra batter into an 8" loaf pan. Now I get to taste it myself before I bring the bundt pan cake to a party. I used some ground vanilla beans and coconut flavor I had in the filling. I used grated lemon peel and a little lemon extract in the cake batter. I also found that I needed to heat the glaze just for about a minute in the microwave to dissolve the sugar and I put a dash of lemon extract in the glaze as well. Now for the hard part, waiting for it to cool. I guess I'll just have to read the new blog and then clean up my dishes. Happy Mothers' day to all the Moms out there!
