lemon cardamom bundt cake with glazed cherries




This past week-end I shared my magic cake lemon bars after telling you about this HUGE craving I had for something lemony. As if the cosmos had heard about it, during the week I read about four more posts on lemon bars, all of them from talented foodbloggers, who shared impeccable recipes and outstanding pictures. I was so grateful! Later, I read somewhere on Google+ that it is "lemon week". If it is so, I did not know, but most surely my inner craving was aligned with it!

Este fin de semana pasado compartí mi receta de barras de limón de torta mágica después de haberles contado lo MUCHO que quería algo cítrico. Como si el cosmos lo hubiera escuchado, durante la semana leí cuatro posts más de barras de limón, todos ellos de talentosas foodbloggers, que compartieron impecables recetas y fotos excepcionales. ¡Estaba tan agradecida! Más tarde, en alguna parte de Google+ leí que es la " semana del limón". Si es así, yo no lo sabía, pero seguramente mi deseo interior estaba alineado con ella!


So then, in honour of this "lemon week" and to leave you with no doubt about my hearty desire, I made this tender lemon cardamom bundt cake, that is really light for breakfast, with some seasonal fruit eaten fresh (cherries are great in this part of the world nowadays) or, if you happen to like it, turned into a wonderful topping.

Entonces, en honor a esta "semana del limón", y para que no les quede ninguna duda sobre mi enorme deseo, hice esta tierna torta bundt de limón y cardamomo, realmente liviana para un desayuno, acompañado con alguna fruta de estación fresca (las cerezas están buenísimas en esta parte del mundo por estos días) o, si es que les gusta, como un maravilloso glaseado.



A simple lemon glaze as the one I drizzled over these buns will also look good on this soft cake.

Un glaseado simple de limón como el que rocié sobre estos buns puede quedar bien sobre esta torta suave.
