Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a mini muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease each cavity with nonstick spray.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the lemon juice and lemon zest.

Step 5

Reduce the mixer speed to low and add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with the milk. Start with the dry ingredients and end with the dry ingredients, mixing just until combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared mini muffin pan, filling each cavity about 2/3 full.

Step 7

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake bite comes out clean.

Step 8

Allow the lemon cake bites to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 10

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled lemon cake bites. For a decorative touch, sprinkle with extra lemon zest while the glaze is still wet.

Step 11

Let the glaze set for 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy your zesty Lemon Cake Bites!
