Well I just removed the coconut lime tea cake from the oven. I always try and make a prototype when I make a cake for the first time. And the results are....interesting.

First it stuck. I've never had a bundt stick before. I greased and floured the pan just like I always do. And this cake was stuck tight. When it did finally try and release it did so in layers

Whatever, I was testing flavor today, so I wasn't horribly worried.

So I dished some up to my taste testers and sent them to the other room. Huck (3) said "Bee, what is wrong with this cake?" Bee (5) says "I don't know. I think mommy used sand instead of flour. It tastes terrible."

And wow. This cake did not taste good! It wasn't bad. And with the glaze it was decent. But the actual cake itself was bland.

I might try it again, because I see a lot of potential. But I'm going to double up the lime zest and let the sugar macerate for a couple of days.
