Instructions

Creating these delightful Mini Lemon Cakes With Lavender Glaze can be straightforward if you follow these simple steps:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a mini muffin tin or line it with mini paper liners.
  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until combined.
  1. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
  1. Add Eggs and Wet Ingredients: Beat in the eggs, buttermilk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract to the butter mixture until well combined.
  1. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until no dry flour remains. Avoid overmixing for a light texture. Gently fold in the dried lavender.
  1. Fill Tin: Pour or spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
  1. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  1. Cool: Once baked, remove from the oven and let the cakes cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  1. Prepare Lavender Glaze: In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth. Stir in the finely chopped lavender for flavor and a hint of color.
  1. Glaze Cakes: Once the mini cakes have cooled completely, drizzle the lavender glaze over each cake.
