柠檬罂粟子邦特蛋糕（ Lemon Poppy Seed Bundt Cake ）

 新年快乐！快乐迎来2015！

Happy New Year everyone!

 新年新尝试，做了这人生第一个邦特蛋糕，

做为开年的第一个蛋糕，也是今晚上的餐后甜品，

希望家人会喜欢。

With the new year, I decided to try out something new. This is my first ever Bundt cake, my first cake of the year, and also tonight's dessert!

蛋糕体湿润，甜中带酸，

又有嚼劲的罂粟子加持，

还蛮好吃的。

The soft, moist texture and the sweet-and-sour taste of the Lemon Poppy Seed Bundt Cake is complimented well by the poppy seed. I quite like it.

 很抱歉，照片由新换的平板电脑所拍，

一些技术上拿捏还很笨拙，

照片不是拍到矮矮短短，就是高高长长，

难为你们的眼睛了，哈。。。。。对不起哦！

希望下一张帖会改进。

Apologies, I took these photos with my new tablet, and because of some wrong settings, the results are either too short and too wide, or too tall and too narrow. Sorry about that! The next post will be better, I promise.

 还有原食谱的分量应该是适合“8杯邦特”模子，

家里唯一的邦特模子应该是“10杯”的，

所以蛋糕好像也矮了许多，

没关系，毕竟是第一回，经验不足，

希望将来会烘出更完美的邦特蛋糕。

Also, the original recipe stated that this is for 8 cup bundt pan, while the only bundt pan I have is  10 cup bundt pan. Ends up the cake became too short, but never mind, after all, it's a learning experience, isn't it? Hopefully my next try will turn out better.

再一次祝福大家：

新的一年，快乐，安康，幸福满满！

Once again, wishing everyone a Happy New Year! May your 2015 be blessed with happiness, health and prosperity!
