1/4 cup ground cornmeal

zest from 1 lemon
1 cup sugar
2 sticks butter, room temp.
4 eggs
1/4 tsp. lemon extract
and you could add a bit of
fresh lemon if desired.

and baking powder, set aside.
In a bowl and with an electric mixer,
stir zest into sugar, til it is evenly mixed.
Add: the butter... cream together til fluffy.
Add: eggs one at a time, beating after each egg.
Reduce speed and add in the flour mixture,
until just combined.
Spray mini bundt molds with Pam.
Fill each mold about halfway full,
dividing batter evenly among 6 molds.
Could make a whole bundt cake too.

You can serve them with whipped cream (or)

I like fruit served along with them,
so, so good!

This is the Manti Utah Temple(built by early Mormon Pioneers in 1888)
My husband and I serve here every Friday, I get to help new brides sometimes
as they come to be married. This is where this young lady (my youngest daughter)
was married.
My last post I had one of her pictures on it and some of my blog friends wanted
to see more pictures of her...so here they are.
Lindsey has been married two years now and is expecting her first baby at the end of July.
It is going to be a little girl...our 20th grand child...we are so excited!
~Michael and Lindsey~
These two have been best friends and sweet on each other since 8th grade.
When we moved here, Lindsey felt kind of alone in school, so at break time she'd go out and play basketball with the boys (Michael being one of them) and they got to be best friends.
That continued on through high school, college and his 2 year mission and she went to college as she waited for his return, graduating in graphic arts.
They are a great couple, always tender and kind with one another.
But then I can say that...I am the mother!
~Have a great weekend everyone~

What a beautiful bride and a gorgeous couple! You should be very proud of them for doing it the right way. One of my daughters waited for a missionary too. Worth the wait, I'd say. Loved your post on the feminine things in life. It's so great being a woman. I'm thankful I'm one every single day. Mimi
Hi my sweet friend, I enjoyed your visit so much. It would be so wonderful for me to get to serve in the Manti Temple. I told you that that's where we were married. Do you know a Debbie Plummer? She lives in Ephriam and works at the temple.
What a beautiful bride, and what a special treat to get to help the brides in the temple.
You must be an awesome cook.
Love ya

You should be so proud of her!
She is absolutely beautiful. I love her dimples!
Those are gorgeous photos.
I have been going to comment on your posts for a couple of days now...The pictures of your daughter and son-in-law are beautiful...love the one with the Utah red rocks behind her...so pretty. I think the Manti Temple is one of the pretties old temples around (looks like a fairy castle on the hill)...we often detour and drive by it on our way to visit family up north. Our kids love to get out and roll down the big hill. One of these days we will have to plan on seeing the pagaent too.
Thanks for the recipe...I have one of those little bundt cake pans around and will have to give it a try!
So Precious!
What a beautiful young couple they are. Many congratulations on the impending birth of their first daughter. I love the Manti Temple. I was engaged to a man about 12 years ago in Las Vegas, and that is where we were planning on being married. I think it is the most beautiful temple. Well, they are all beautiful aren't they, but some are just a bit more special than others. Great looking cakes! I need to get me a mini bundt pan!
Ummm, the cakes....I MUST make this right away. I have no mini pans so I will just go straight for the BIG one! Yummmm.....
Your daughter is breathtaking. Just beautiful.
20 grands? WHOA !! Not that is a lot of grandbabies. How blessed and wonderful. I only have half that many and feel so blessed I don't know what to do.
hugs, bj
Reading back over your recipe...is there no fresh lemon juice added? and...will this recipe be good used in a large bundt pan instead of the minis? I am planning to make this for our home fellowship group on Sunday...
First of all, those cakes look sooo delicious! The bridal pictures of your pretty daughter are beautiful. A precious love story ...
Have a great weekend too, Julie. xo
Julie,
The pictures are beautiful. And I also love the story about their getting together. Can't wait to see the baby pictures!

May you have many more grandchildren (20!!!) How blessed you are Julie. I am so happy for you. Thanks for sharing with us.

I think it would be such an honor to serve at weddings! You are the perfect choice for this!!
I would have loved to come from a big family! I am an only child with no children myself. Just was not in God's plan for me. You are so blessed, my good friend...
xo, misha
Thanks for sharing the beautiful photos and their love story. Isn't great that they are such good friends too. My advice to young women is; you marry your best friend, not your boyfriend. That is when you know it is true love and eternal.
Have a wonderful day!
Pretty bride wow!!
Gorgeous couple !!
Congratulations on the new Grandbaby!!!
Diane

look at that dimple!!! she's scrumptiously gorgeous. he's a very handsome young man too. great couple. thank you for sharing a special day in your life.
Happy Spring Julie!
We are in Ephraim. Just across the street from 'The Malt Shop".
We lived in Manti for a while, next door to Archie and Doreen Brugger! LOVE THOSE TWO!
Archie and I act like we family :)
Everyone asks him if I am his daughter, and he always tells them yes. My sweet daddy passed away some years ago, and so I love the hugs and smiles and 'family' connection with Archie!
It's a loooooong story, how we moved and ended up back in Sanpete and in Ephraim. It also involves a really great story and many miracles!
Someday, I'll tell you the story.
Have a great day!
They are a gorgeous couple and what a sweet story about them. I love your little cakes- lemon pound cake a favorite of mine. have a beautiful weekend Julie.
So, so, so beautiful! They have the foundation for a marriage that will last! Loved the recipe, it is a keeper. Hve a grt wknd....
