These Zesty Mini Lemon Bundt Cakes are tiny crowns of citrus delight, perfect for brightening up your dessert table or pairing with your afternoon tea.
Ingredients:
For the Cake:
- 125 g butter, softened to whisper-soft consistency
- 125 g sugar, sweet as a spring morning
- 2 medium-sized eggs, the emblems of richness
- 125 g all-purpose flour, sifted to airy lightness
- 1 tsp baking powder, the lift in the cake’s step
- A pinch of salt, the flavor’s subtle undertone
- Juice and zest of 1 organic lemon, the burst of zestful joy
- 1 tbsp yogurt, the creamy twist
For the Lemon Glaze:
- 100 g powdered sugar, fine as mist
- Juice of 1 zesty lemon
Method:
- Enliven your oven to a cozy 180°C, preparing it for the baking ballet to come. Prepare your mini Gugelhupf molds with a loving swipe of butter and a whisper of flour.
- In a bowl, whip the butter and sugar together until they’re pale and fluffy, like a cloud at dawn.
- Introduce the eggs, one at a time, beating well to incorporate each fully.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl, setting the stage for the mix.
- Stir the vibrant lemon juice and zest into the creamy mixture, ensuring a zesty harmony throughout.
- Gradually welcome the flour mix into the batter, stirring to maintain a smooth consistency.
- With a final flourish, fold in the yogurt, blending until just combined.
- Spoon the batter into the molds, filling each only to a humble two-thirds, to allow for their rise.
- Bake the mini cakes for 15-20 minutes, until they turn golden and a skewer comes out clean, the signal of their readiness.
- Allow the cakes a moment of rest in their molds before setting them free to cool.
- For the glaze, mix the powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth, then drizzle over the cooled cakes with a free hand and a generous heart.
Serve these Zesty Mini Lemon Bundt Cakes as a celebration of flavor, each a tiny testament to the joy of lemon and sugar. Enjoy their tangy sweetness, a delightful end to any meal or a bright beginning to your afternoon. Cheers! 👩🏻🍳🍋🍰
