How To Make Mini Bundt Cake Recipes Lemon
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your mini bundt cake pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Mix Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
4. Combine Ingredients
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Begin and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined.
5. Fill the Pan
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini bundt cake pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
6. Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then turn them out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
7. Prepare the Glaze
While the cakes are cooling, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth.
8. Glaze the Cakes
Once the cakes are completely cool, drizzle the lemon glaze over the top of each mini bundt cake. Let the glaze set before serving.
Special Note
Make sure your oven is preheated before baking, and don’t overmix the batter. Overmixing can lead to tough cakes.
If you want a more intense lemon flavour, you can increase the lemon zest and juice in the recipe. However, be cautious as too much lemon can make the batter too acidic, affecting the texture of the cakes.

Tips And Variations
Tips
1. Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure your butter, eggs, and sour cream are at room temperature for a smooth batter.
2. Avoid Overmixing: Overmixing the batter can result in dense cakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
3. Proper Measuring: Measure your flour correctly by spooning it into the measuring cup and leveling it off with a knife.
Variations
1. Lemon Blueberry: Add 1/2 cup of fresh blueberries to the batter for a burst of berry flavor.
2. Lemon Poppy Seed: Stir in 1 tablespoon of poppy seeds for a delightful crunch.
3. Gluten-Free: Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend to make these cakes gluten-free.
How Can I Make The Cakes More Lemony?
If you prefer a stronger lemon flavour, you can add an extra tablespoon of lemon juice or an additional teaspoon of lemon zest to the batter.
Additionally, you can enhance the lemon flavor by using a lemon glaze or a lemon syrup soak. To make a lemon syrup, mix equal parts lemon juice and sugar, and brush it over the cakes while they are still warm.
How Do I Store Mini Lemon Bundt Cakes?
To keep your mini lemon bundt cakes fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
If you need to keep them longer, you can refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze them for up to 3 months.
Just make sure to wrap them well in plastic wrap or foil before placing them in an airtight container or freezer bag.
Can I Make The Batter Ahead Of Time?
It’s best to bake the batter immediately after preparing it to ensure the best texture and rise. However, you can prepare the dry and wet ingredients separately the night before and then combine them when you’re ready to bake.
Store the wet ingredients in the refrigerator and the dry ingredients at room temperature.
