Ingredients
  

Let's gather the ingredients!

Cake

  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • zest of 2 lemons
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 tsp baking powder
  • pinch of kosher salt
  • 4 medium eggs
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Glaze

  • 1⅔ cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • zest of 1 lemon

Instructions
 

Let's Begin!

    For the lemon bundt cakes

    • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease and lightly flour 12 to 15 mini bundt pans. Set aside.
    • Cream the butter, sugar, and lemon zest together until light and fluffy.
    • Place the flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Whisk until combined.
    • Beat the eggs, one at a time, into the creamed butter and sugar, followed by a tablespoon of the dry ingredients to help prevent the batter from curdling.
    • Once all of the eggs have been added, add the remaining dry ingredients, together with the lemon juice, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat until the batter is thick and smooth.
    • Spoon the batter into the mini bundt pans until they are about ⅔ full, and use a small spatula to smooth out the tops.
    • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops of the cakes are lightly golden and a skewer inserted into the thickest part of the cakes comes out clean.
    • Leave the cakes to settle in the bundt pans on a wire rack for about 5 minutes, before carefully unmolding the cakes.

    For the lemon glaze

    • In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar with lemon juice until you have a thick, but pourable, consistency.

    To assemble the lemon bundt cakes

    • Place the cakes on a wire rack with a sheet of baking paper underneath to catch the drips from the frosting.
    • Spoon the lemon glaze over a few cakes at a time, a decorate with some finely grated lemon zest.
    • Leave the cakes for at least 15 minutes to set before serving.
    • Serve and enjoy with family and friends!
