What’s the Difference Between Meyer Lemons and Regular Lemons?
The Meyer lemon is more round than a true lemon and its skin is fragrant and thin. Meyer lemons have a sweeter taste and are less acidic than the more common lemon varieties. A Meyer lemon is a cross between a citron and a mandarin/pomelo hybrid. It was introduced to the United States in the early 1900s by Frank Meyer, who collected a sample on a trip to China. Today, the Meyer lemon is enjoyed by chefs and home cooks alike. Use this when you’re looking for the pop of lemon flavor without the acidic bite in all of your favorite recipes.

Meyer Lemon Bundt Cake
How To Make a Meyer Lemon Pound Cake
Mix up the ingredients, pour in into your bundt pan and bake away. (This mixing process is really easy and self-explanatory so I didn’t publish any of those photos.) Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Grease a bundt or pound cake pan with butter and dust flour, or use baking spray. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes at medium speed. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in lemon juice and lemon zest. Whisk the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a medium bowl. Add to the creamed mixture alternately with sour cream. Beat just until combined. Pour into a greased and floured 10-in. bundt tube pan. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Once completely cooled, whip up the glaze and pour over cake. In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and lemon juice and pour over the cake. Drizzle over the cake. Check out our Shrimp Salad!
