Description

Recipe for mini lemon bundt cake with lemon glaze (for 6 mini bundt cakes or 12 super mini bundt cakes).


Ingredients

Mini lemon bundt cake

  • 74 g (1/3 cup) Butter – unsalted, softened
  • 120 g (1/2 cup) Sugar – very fine granulated
  • 2 Eggs – room temperature
  • 1 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 20 ml Lemon juice – fresh
  • 1/2 Lemon zest
  • 45 g (3 tbsp) Sour cream – full-fat
  • 140 g (1 cup + 2 tbsp) Flour – cake flour
  • 1/2 tsp Baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp Baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 95 ml (1/3 cup) Milk

Lemon glaze

  • 100 g (1 cup) Powdered sugar
  • 15 ml (1 tbsp) Lemon juice

Instructions

Mini lemon bundt cakes

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease the mini bundt molds thoroughly.
  2. Beat the butter, sugar, and lemon zest at medium speed for 1–2 minutes until light and creamy.
  3. Add the eggs and vanilla, mixing until fully incorporated.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the milk and lemon juice and let sit briefly to create a buttermilk-style mixture.
  5. Alternate adding the dry ingredients and the milk mixture, folding gently with a spatula until just combined.
  6. Fold in the sour cream until the batter is smooth.
  7. Fill the molds 2/3 full, smooth the tops, and bake for about 30 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the molds for 30–60 minutes, then unmold and cool completely on a rack.

Lemon glaze

  1. Mix the powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth and pourable.
  2. Drizzle over the cooled mini bundt cakes before serving.

Notes

Storage: Store covered at room temperature up to 2 days, or refrigerated up to 5 days.

Tips:

  • Weigh ingredients for consistent texture (better than cups).
  • Grease mini bundt molds very well, especially the details.
  • Do not overfill the molds—2/3 full is ideal.
  • Let cakes cool fully before glazing for a clean finish.
  • Use fresh lemon zest for the best flavor.
