If you love the fresh citrus flavor of lemons, February is a great time of year to find the best juicy lemons. Pick up a couple of lemons today and you can have a slice of this yummy lemon cake in no time.

Do you own a bundt pan?  If you do, your bundt pan is one of the 40 million pans owned in the United States.  That means a lot of bundt cakes have been made since 1950 when the Nordic Ware Company started making them in the United States.

The Best Lemon Yogurt Cake
The iconic bundt pan came to be as a request by a group of Minnesota Hadassah women to the owners of the Nordic Ware Company to make an aluminum version of the European cast iron pan used to make kugelhupf, a European yeast cake. 

We can thank the 1966  Pillsbury Bake-off and the Tunnel of Fudge Cake that made it to the Bake-off finals that year for making bundt cakes popular.  The rest is history as bundt cake pans became an essential item in kitchens across America.(Source)
