I promised you cake, so let’s have cake. Not just any cake, a Passion Tea Lemonade Bundt Cake! You have probably noticed that I usually make cocktail cakes, not regular bundt cakes. Let me tell you, it took every ounce of strength that I have not to add Limoncello to this recipe. I am quite proud of my self control, this cake turned out delicious and is perfect for picnics, parties, and little kids!!

Isn’t that a pretty color?

How to make a passion Tea Lemonade Bundt Cake:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a bundt pan with baking pan, and set aside. In a large bowl, beat eggs, sugar, and oil together until light and fluffy…..

Add the vanilla, lemon zest, and tea…..

and beat to combine…..

You can’t really see it in this photo, but the color is green! That is what happens when you try and bake with lemon. 😉  So, we’re gong to have to add gel food coloring to achieve the perfect color. I used Wilton’s ROSE coloring…..

Stir in the flour, dry milk powder, pudding mix, salt, and baking powder, and beat for one minute until thoroughly combined……

Now pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan…..

Tap the pan up and down on the counter (or floor) to release the air bubbles. Bake in preheated oven for 47 to 55 minutes, until golden brown and toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for 10 minutes in the pan.

Turn cake out onto a wire cooling rack placed on top of a large plate, and set aside…..

To make the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar and 2 Tablespoons of passion tea…..

If glaze is too thick, add additional tea. Use a large spoon to drizzle glaze over the top of the cake…..

The first couple of layers will run over the top of the cake, and slowly soak into it. Don’t worry, we will fix that. 😉  When the bowl is empty, move the rack to a second plate and continue drizzling the original glaze over the top until you run out of glaze…..

Switch the rack back and forth between the plates, it takes about 8 to 10 times to use up all of the glaze…..

The glaze will slowly thicken up as you’re drizzling it over the cake, so the last couple of passes will create the final look of the cake. Try to keep it even, but don’t worry about covering every inch of the cake…you will drive yourself crazy if you try! 😉  Allow the cake to cool completely before serving.
