I love lemon any time of year, but especially in the summer. it is light and refreshing in a drink or dessert. (Lemonade, margaritas, lemon tarts, lemon bread, the possibilities are endless!) The other night my family started craving a summer treat, and I came up with this lemon mini bundt cake recipe. Enjoy!
