As a food blogger, we have learned that there is a lot to be said for the picture. Â From time to time, I will make variations on how the same recipe looks if different form pans are used. Â For this recipe, I used a mini bundt cake pan. Â For all you bakers out there, you know how hard it is to get the cakes out of these small pans. Â I made sure to use a lot of Pam Spray and it worked.
Given the beautiful design of the cakes, I simply drizzled the glaze on top to provide a nice accent without losing the visually attractive shapes.
Recipe
Mini Lemon Bundt Cakes with Maple Cappuccino Glaze:
Ingredients (this recipe was divided into 2 uses):
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk
Zest of 1 lemons,
Juice of 1 lemon and equal amount of lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups sugar
5 large eggs
Maple Cappucino Glaze
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with rack in lowest position. Spray bundt pan with Pam.
In a small bowl, combine buttermilk with lemon zest and juice. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
With an electric mixer, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
With mixer on low, add flour mixture in three parts alternately with the buttermilk mixture in two.
Pour batter into bundt pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool completely in pan. I carefully used a sharp knife first, and then, used a frosting spreader to pull them out of the molds. Â Turn out cakes onto a rack; cool completely before glazing.
Pour glaze over cakes, letting it run down the sides; let dry, about 30 minutes. Â Enjoy!
I am excited about making these. I love making the mini bundt cakes. Where is the receive for the glaze?
Faye, I am sorry. This is an old post. Glaze is a combination of confectioners sugar, butter, vanilla and a little milk. To make the maple glaze you will add 1 – 2 tbsp pure maple syrup and 1 – 2 tbsp of coffee. 1 cup confectioner sugar and 1 stick of softened butter. Add the syrup and coffee a little at a time.
Oh lemon! What a perfect idea for this time of year when we need a little cheer for the “after the holidays blues”! My hubby will smile when I make this for him. Thanks for posting it up!
I love little cakes like these 🙂
It’s a very nice idea to make such little cute bundt cakes 🙂
