My grandniece and I made the lemon bundt cake last weekend when she was here for a visit. She is nine years old and a budding baker. She made the cake, measuring and weighing all the ingredients. She used multiplication and fractions, so we called it a math exercise too. The cake turned out wonderfully and she was so proud to take her part home to her family. We used shortening and sugar to prepare the pan which gave the cake a wonderful, crispy texture to the outside. What a great cake and a treasured memory for both of us.
