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