Lime Poppyseed Sourdough Bundt Cake

Well guys, I diddly done did it.

I done put sourdough in my dessert.

It was really only a matter of time.

I promise you won’t even be able to tell that it’s there. Like we’ve discussed before, using starter in quick breads or cakes really just adds a subtle tang and {sorry} moistness similar to that of buttermilk.

Plus, it gives you something to do with that extra starter instead of simply discarding it at each feeding. I mean, technically it is alive. I may or may not be somewhat attached to Methuselah. Let’s not talk about it now.

In case that hasn’t convinced you…I used my mini-bundt pan to make these adorable little cakes instead of one big one! I’m pretty sure mini versions of things automatically make them more appealing. Not to mention, perfect portion control!

If you wanted to change things up to make lemon poppy seed cakes, you most certainly could. I just happened to have limes on hand and it seemed like such a perfect summery flavor. The lime flavor is subtle, so for a stronger kick of lime, whip up a little lime glaze to drizzle over the tops of these cakes.

Or just dust them with powdered sugar and eat them for breakfast…I won’t tell.

    1. I was thinking the same thing. Got to get a mini bundt pan before baking these. Great to give away as well.

  1. How freaking cute is this little guy?! Love the idea of a sourdough bundt! Keep the dessert sourdough recipes coming, I’m going to need all I can get! Wanna split a bundt with me? Let’s do it!

  2. Lovely work, Stephie! Would you be happy to link it in to the current Food on Friday which is all about cakes? This is the link . There are lots of great links there already. I do hope to see you there. Cheers

  3. The texture and crumb of this cake were excellent, but I would put in waaayyy more lime zest and/or juice next time I found the flavor to be somewhat plain.
