Are you craving something baked and lemony?  The best part about the lemon cake is putting your nose real close to the lemon cake and smelling it!  When you smell the lemon cake, you can already taste it in your mind.  This lemon cake is delicious for breakfast.  Citrus is awakening, and a lemon breakfast cake is a perfect way to start the day!

Ingredients For Lemon Bundt Cake Recipe:

2 eggs
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tbsp vanilla
1 lemon
1 cup lowfat plain yogurt
2 cups flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda

Directions How To Make Lemon Bundt Cake:

Preheat oven to 375F.

Wash the lemon.  Zest the lemon: grate the thin top yellow layer of the lemon (without the white pith) using a grater with the smallest holes.

Whisk the eggs in a large bowl.  Add the sugar and stir until combined.  Add vanilla.  Add lemon zest.

Cut the lemon into quarters and squeeze out the lemon juice into the bowl with other ingredients.  Stir until combined.

Add flour to the bowl.  Sprinkle baking powder and baking soda evenly over the flour.  Add yogurt, then stir everything until combined.

Spray the inside of the non-stick bundt pan with non-stick cooking spray.  Pour the batter into the bundt pan.  Put in the oven and bake for 35 minutes.

Note: lemon zest is optional :)  If you don’t feel like zesting a lemon, don’t let it stop you from making this delicious lemon cake!  Just use lemon juice and omit the zest.  The lemon flavor will be less intense without the zest, but it will still be a terrific lemon cake.

It’s very easy to cut a cantaloupe into chunks.  Don’t waste money on pre-cut cantaloupe in plastic fruit trays or fruit cups – not only they are expensive, but also not as fresh, as they’ve been sitting on the store shelves for a while. When you cut a cantaloupe yourself, you will enjoy tasty cantaloupe pieces – lots of cantaloupe chunks!

Ingredients for Blueberry Pie Recipe:

For Pie Crust:

2 1/2 cups of flour
2 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 sticks of butter, cut into pieces
1/2 cup of cold water

For Blueberry Filling:

6 cups of blueberries
1/2 cup of sugar
1/4 cup of cornstarch

Directions How To Make Blueberry Pie:

Make The Dough For The Crust:

Put flour, sugar, salt and butter in a food processor fitted with a steel blade.  Process in a food processor until everything is combined and looks like coarse crumbs.  Add water and process until combined.

Take the dough out of the food processor, divide into 2 equal parts and roll each part into a ball.  Wrap each dough ball with a plastic wrap and put in a refrigerator for 1 hour.

Assemble The Pie:

Preheat oven to 400F.

Spray the 9-inch non-stick pie pan with a non-stick cooking spray.

Roll one dough ball into a circle, large enough to cover the bottom and sides of the pie pan.

Put rolled dough in the pie pan so it covers the bottom and sides of the pan.

In a bowl, make the filling: mix blueberries, sugar and cornstarch.

Put the blueberry filling in the pie pan, on top of the bottom crust dough.

Roll the second dough ball into a circle, the diameter of the pie pan – this is the top crust.

Put the top crust on top of the filling.  Pinch together the edges of the top and bottom crusts, all the way around the pie pan, to seal the pie.  Cut several slits in the top crust (to let steam escape while the pie is baking).

Put the pie in the bottom portion of the oven.  After 20 minutes, lower oven temperature to 350F.  Bake for additional 45 minutes.
