Equipment

  • Mini Bundt Pan
  • Mixing Bowls
  • Hand Mixer
  • Cooling rack
  • Non-Stick Spray
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

For lemon mini bundt cake

  • 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter at room temperature
  • ¾ cup white granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs at room temperature
  • ½ cup sour cream at room temperature
  • ¼ cup flavorless oil
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Lemon zest for garnish

For Lemon Icing

  • 1 cup confectioners sugar
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease the mini bundt cake pan with oil and dust it with flour. Tap out any excess flour by inverting the pan. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
  • In another bowl, use a hand mixer to beat the butter and sugar for 2-3 minutes until light and creamy using a hand mixer or stand mixer.
  • Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then, add the sour cream, oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined.
  • Slowly add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until everything is well incorporated.
  • Use a piping bag or spoon to fill each cavity of the prepared mini bundt cake pan up to ⅔ full. Smooth the tops if needed.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and let the mini bundt cakes cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert the pan onto a wire rack to release the cakes. Allow them to cool completely for another 10 minutes.
  • While the cakes cool, prepare the icing by combining confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, and milk in a bowl. Stir until the mixture reaches a smooth, pourable consistency.
  • Once the cakes are cool, drizzle the lemon icing over the top and garnish with lemon zest. Enjoy these delightful mini bundt cakes!
