I am proud to say I am a greenfoot .... I gave up my vehicle about 4 years ago.
Reduced my carbon footprint.
The earth can use a LOT more greenfeet .... and if you live in a city where there is transit ... try it ... you might be surprised with the extra walking that you feel better and get a little bit healthy!!

Ingredients
· 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
· 3 cups all-purpose flour plus more for pan

· 2 teaspoons kosher salt
· 2 1/2 cups sugar
· Finely grated zest of 8 lemons (about 1/2 cup)
· 4 large eggs

· 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Preparation
· Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter and flour Bundt pan; set aside. Whisk baking powder, salt, and 3 cups flour in a medium bowl. Combine sugar and lemon zest in a large bowl; using your fingertips, rub together until lemon sugar is well blended.
· Add 1 cup butter to lemon sugar. Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat until mixture is light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating to blend between additions and occasionally scraping down sides and bottom of bowl with a rubber spatula, until mixture is light and very fluffy, about 4 minutes longer.

· Bake cake until golden brown and beginning to pull away from sides of pan, 60-70 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and let cake cool in pan for 10 minutes. Invert cake onto rack; remove pan and let cool completely. DO AHEAD: Cake can be made 2 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
· Combine preserves and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until glaze is reduced to 1/2 cup, 6-8 minutes. Strain glaze into a small pitcher or bowl; discard solids in strainer. Pour glaze over cooled cake and let sit for at least 10 minutes.

Do we have an option of being notified when someone has made a comment on one of our stories? Or maybe that's a crazy amount of work ... or if someone can tell me where that option is ... great
(you'd think I'd know!!)
I don't know how other's do it ... but I get thank you messages after I've written a comment on a story (even an OLD story) .... and I rarely check my stories after they've been up for a few weeks (mostly because the interest dies out).
