I’ve been wanting to try this Lemon Bliss Cake recipe over at King Arthur Flour, for like, forever. Well at least since they emailed it to me. The thing is, that I really haven’t had an occasion to make a full sized bunt cake. While I often do bake for the heck of it, even without an occasion, having a full…
