good eats: lemon-blueberry bundt cake

I've been baking a lot lately. Perhaps it's the anticipation of the fall season. Whatever it is, I can't stop. This recipe turned out to be a hit. It's another one adapted from Cooking Light. No worries though, it's pretty good. Definitely worked for Big Red with his morning cup of coffee. If you want the original recipe, click on the Cooking Light link. The following is my own adaptation and what I changed is in bold. I had a pint of blueberries I wanted to use, so I dumped the whole thing in. Too many blueberries is never a bad thing! I also cut out 3/4 c. of sugar (cutting out unnecessary calories), added 2 tblsp. of lemon rind, and substituted nonfat Greek yogurt instead of the sour cream. The use of yogurt helped to cut more calories AND added more protein. Enjoy.

• Cooking spray
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
