I love these mini bundt tins, they are so cute aren’t they? I was so grateful that my dad brought the tin for me. Although I have had these tins for a while I haven’t used it. I know, tut tut naughty me!

I decided I wanted to make a lemon and poppy seed cake as my mum likes her lemon cakes. I liked how this recipe has sour cream I thought it would give it extra moistness. 

I didn’t realise how much mixture this recipe had made, I would suggest halving the recipe if you just wanted to make it for one bundt tin. I had to use a loaf tin for the rest of the mixture. I actually didn’t think that cake was that moist and it needed a lot more lemon oomph.
