Looking for a Bundt cake recipe in 'English' please!

Hello everyone

I found the cutest Bundt Pan/Tin in a charity shop yesterday and would love to have a go at making a Bundt cake now. Can anyone recommend a recipe with easily available ingredients that don't cost the earth and with English-type measurements? I am not a baker and I just cannot get my head around cups of flour and cups of milk etc and most of the recipes I have found so far are all American stylee. I quite fancy a lemon flavoured one but am not too fussy so long as it doesn't cost the earth and is simple to follow!

Any help would be much appreciated!

Simply Nigella Christmas from the beginning of this week had a bundt recipe. The programme (still available on Iplayer) gave the substitutions for a lemon and an orange variant IIRC, though the published recipe is cider and 5 spice

Ina Garten does a Bundt cake - you should find the recipe on the 'Food Network' website.
oh, and I think she also uses the Bundt tin for angel food cake and a couple of other recipes.

Ive just had a look on Food Network for you - you will be spoilt for choice! over 1200 recipes mention 'Bundt cake tin' so here is the link

coincidence. I made a bundt this morning and I used nigellas vanilla recipe. It turned out fabulous. Just need to make absolutely sure that the tin is well greased. I used the lakeland spray and a pastry brush. My tin is a christmas wreath and also 2.4 litre size. It popped out perfectly

just to add that it was very easy to make

if you're struggling to find a Bundt cake recipe you might find better results for "ring cakes" that's what some people call them instead apparently..

Many thanks everyone....Nigella's vanilla recipe sounds like a good and easy starting point, then maybe get a bit more adventurous. Not too sure about size of tin and quantities tho....my Bundt tin only measures 18cm across and contains about 0.75 ltr in quantity so a bit of scaling down needed methinks! I'm quite looking forward to having a bash at this now....must be quite exciting when you get to the 'popping out' stage!!!

I used the Hummingbird's recipe - equal quantities of all ingredients, inc eggs weighed in shells - plus the sets if 2 lemons and hold back on some of the sugar. I then use the leftover sugar and the lemon juice to syrup the finished product. This works well with oranges too.

I also make more wet batters that don't need syruping.
