Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 1 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cups Fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 0.25 cups Milk
• 1 cups Powdered sugar (for glaze)
• 3 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice (for glaze)
• 0.5 teaspoons Lemon zest (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the unsalted butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition.

Step 5

Mix in the fresh lemon juice and lemon zest, ensuring the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

Step 6

Alternately add the dry flour mixture and the milk to the wet ingredients, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Mix just until combined; do not overmix.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

While the cakes are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar and fresh lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 10

Once the cakes are completely cooled, dip the tops of each cake into the glaze or drizzle the glaze over the tops using a spoon.

Step 11

Garnish each Lemon Blossom Blaster with a small pinch of lemon zest for an extra burst of citrus flavor and a decorative touch.

Step 12

Let the glaze set for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
