This could be the perfect summer dessert! Lemon raspberry bundt cake will be everyones favorite!

Every time I hear the words, Bundt Cake I'm always reminded of the movie, My Big Fat Greek Wedding. And a classic movie needs a classic cake. Am I the only person who's terrified when it comes to releasing a bundt cake from its pan? Seriously, I'm always waiting on half of it staying behind and half landing in my shoe, but so far all my bundt's have popped out perfectly. Knock on wood! This bundt is smaller than normal size, meaning it's just not as high and that means you can eat infinitely more pieces without any guilt, right? I didn't plan for the cake to end up this size but I decided to keep it as is. It has the awesome lemon flavor I was looking for and it still looks like a bundt!

We all need some light and fluffy bundt cake, and this lemon raspberry version hits the spot!

And lemon and raspberries, who can say that combination doesn't go well together. I'll argue with you until the cows come home on that one. You score some tartness from the lemons and then the raspberries throw some sweetness your way. It's the best!!I was lucky to make this because if my son ever finds fresh raspberries in the fridge, he'll inhale them so quickly which I've learned to quit whining over even if the price is close to five dollars. I'd rather he had a tummy full of fruit than some other stuff. Although too many raspberries make for tummy thunder, if ya know what I mean! Happy Thursday friends!

This is a great bundt cake to make for Mother's Day!! Full of raspberries and lemon.
Tasty lemon and raspberry bundt cake. Make this for Mother's Day for max results!
