Lemony Glazed Bundt Cake

You know how everyone has a recipe or two up their sleeve that seems to be requested more than any other? Lately this has been that dessert.

This bundt cake is so delicious! It is moist, absolutely full of lemon flavour (and we know how much I love lemony desserts!), and is easy to whip up too!  

Plus, aren't bundt cakes just so pretty in their simplicity?

I first made this a while ago after finding it on allrecipes.com.  I definitely recommend sticking with the suggested glaze, it adds an amazing level of moisture to the cake!
