Tangy Bundt Cake with Icing

This delicious bundt cake has an interesting combination of flavors. The addition of oregano to a sweet dish may seem odd but it works wonderfully in this recipe. The lemon acts as a bridge between the sweet and the savory, and it makes the whole cake come together.

4. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a different bowl.
5. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and stir well to combine.
