I made this moist bundt cake one Sunday for a brunch after church, and no one believed it was light, shares Marcia Fuller of Sheridan, Montana.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
4 egg whites
1 cup (8 ounces) fat-free plain yogurt
1/4 cup canola oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
3-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons grated lemon peel
4 teaspoons poppy seeds
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup fat-free milk
glaze:
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons plus 1-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon poppy seeds
Directions:
1. Coat a 10-in. fluted tube pan with cooking spray and dust with flour; set aside. In a large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar until crumbly, about 2 minutes. Add eggs and egg whites, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the yogurt, oil and lemon juice. Combine the flour, lemon peel, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk. Pour into prepared pan.
2. Bake at 350° for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack. Cool 10 minutes longer. Place rack on waxed paper. For glaze, combine confectioners' sugar and lemon juice; brush over warm cake. Sprinkle with poppy seeds. Cool completely before cutting. Yield: 14 servings.
