Mountain Dew (in my humble “mothers” opinion) is toxic...
Each one of my six children have heard my speech on that topic.
If I’m going to spend my calories, I would rather spend them on real food made from real ingredients. That said - I take all I’ve ever said about Mountain Dew back - for this recipe ONLY!
This simple recipe is moist, not-too-dense, and just tart enough to give your taste buds a little rush. I’ve made cakes with citrus soda before, but they weren’t even close to being this delicious. So my all-out ban on Mountain Dew is now conditional...
When I don’t have one (or more) of my children hanging out, I start to miss having a nice dessert occasionally. When I found this recipe, I decided to make it in mini-bundt pans, freeze the extras, and bring them out when I get a craving. But the real reason I made these was to commemorate a few birthdays for friends. A full size cake is too much for a friend’s birthday - especially if their family is making one already. I placed the individual bundts on a mini-styrofoam plate, wrapped them well in saran, and put them in the deep freeze.
As you’ve probably noticed - I have a thing for anything “bundt”...
Since it’s mid-winter and fresh fruit is practically non-existent (for my budget anyway) - I brought out a bag of dried blueberries and made a quick topping. It's simple to make a tiny batch of lemon frosting, place it in a ziploc baggie, then pipe onto the bundt. With a spoonful of the blueberry topping - wah-lah!...a pretty nice gift that I was pleased to give my friend (and good to know I had five more waiting in the freezer)
