Meyer lemons are here, and I made two very different cake recipes, neither healthy, each vying for the higher butter quotient. They were both tasty, but I definitely have a favorite. Here is the first in my two part series of the 'cake-off'–this one a meyer lemon cake with cranberries. I love having bites of soft, tart fruit mixed in to my dense buttery cakes, so that was a plus for me. And, I can say from experience, this goes well after an incredibly rich meal and also has been known to soften the blow after a loss by your home football team (and comfort the stomach's of grieving fans - RIP 49ers' season).
P.S. This is supposed to be a bundt cake, but I only have one type of pan so all of my "bundt" cakes become loaf cakes! What's in a shape?
