This cake has almost all of my favorite ingredients, honey, yogurt, milk and lemon. I was browsing around my kitchen the other day, looking for some ingredients for a particular cake I wanted to bake, I didn't want to go to the store to buy some ingredients that were missing, I was feeling too lazy to do that. So necessity being the Mother of all inventions. I came up with a delicious and moist cake just by raiding my fridge and pantry. Bundt cakes are usually made with buttermilk but since I didn't have that, I substituted yogurt. Used honey instead of sugar in the recipe.
Now you might ask, what is a Bundt cake? It's your usual coffee cake that is baked in a bundt container that looks like ridged ring. It was invented by the Germans, why I don't know, all I know is that whenever I make a cake from this pan it always comes out perfectly baked. I must be because of the hole in the center, where air can circulate all around the cake as it is baking.
