I think lychees are one of those things you either love or hate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bit like marmite (which I love \u2013 eat it on scrambled eggs, trust me!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You are either in camp \u201cgive-me-all-the-lychees-I-don\u2019t-care-how-long-they-take-to-peel\u201d or camp \u201cseriously-they-look-like-eyeballs\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, I love them in all their sweet eyeball-ness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, I cannot even begin to explain how long I have wanted to get one of these Bundt tins<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I looked in EVERY single shop in Basel which sells any kind of baking apparel and there was nothing of the Bundt variety. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I found one in the UK which my parents had to somehow fit into their hand luggage on their latest visit, only to find a huge baking shop in Basel that I never knew existed, the night before they arrived. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Facepalm. Oh well. But now I am so excited to go and buy ALL THE THINGS from this shop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I really should never be allowed to go to shops like that alone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like ever. Anyway, the bottom line is I got the tin, I love the tin, so expect a few more Bundt cake recipes in the coming months!<\/p>\n\n\n

So back to lychee’s. These little sweet fruits are so under-used. I love them! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And with the kick of lime, they are just divine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their flavor is delicate so lends itself well to a bundt cake, which is by nature heavier than a regular sponge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The kind of cake that can feed a lot of people!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"top<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

We definitely don’t want to waste any lime flavor, so we go full-on with the zest of the lime as well as the juice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The zest holds so much flavor and the smell when you are releasing all the beautiful oils is amazing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cup of yogurt in the cake really helps to keep the entire cake beautifully moist, and just the right texture.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"top-down<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Bundt cakes are so beautiful and can really be decorated any way you like depending on what kind of look you are going for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, I have decided to keep the decoration to the flavors in the cake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The addition of the fresh lychees on the top adds another dimension, and lychees really are at their best when fresh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are cheating a little by using lychees from a can, but there is also a good reason for this! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to add another lychee flavor, we use the liquid from the can to make the icing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This sweet drizzle then slightly soaks into the cake and the lime and lychee meet in a wonderful way!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"overhead<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

This would be the perfect cake to make for any occasion if you fancy a change from more common flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You will be pleasantly surprised at how well these under-used ingredients work together, so give it a go and let me know what you think!<\/p>\n\n\n
