I made Claire Saffitz’s lemon bundt cake this week for a thank-you dinner party! (Thanks for introducing me to the recipe. I snagged a bundt pan at the thrift store this week, so it was clearly fate.) I crammed the cake making into my hour-long lunch break, and had my sister take it out of the oven. I skipped the glaze because I wasn't home to make it, but I will likely *NOT* do that again! It's yummy, but definitely needs the glaze. :)
Oooo yes, do follow through on the glaze next time! It's where the majority of the lemon flavor in this cake comes from! Next time I think I'm also going to try baking it as two loaves, and icing them with a powdered sugar icing cut with a little citric acid - then I think it might be a just-about dupe for the Starbucks lemon loaf which calls to me despite how not-great it is.

Oooooo, the loaf cakes sound like a great version!
