WELCOME SPRING!
These little cakes are so light and lemony. They just taste like spring. The recipe is simple and they turn out looking so pretty and delicate. I topped them with a dollop of cream cheese frosting and a blueberry but they are also delicious with whipped cream and candied lemon or other fresh berries.
MINI LEMON CAKES
1 1/2 C cake flour
1 1/2C all purpose flour
2t baking soda
1/2t salt1C unsalted butter
2c sugar
1 vanilla bean split and scraped
5 eggs (separated)
1C sour cream
Preheat oven to 350 and line or spray muffin tin.
In a stand mixer, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla and egg yolks, one at a time, until completely combined. Add sour cream. Combine all dry ingredients in another bowl and add to the butter mixture. Beat egg whites until stiff and fold into batter. Fill mini cups half way and bake for 20 minutes. Cool completely on a wire rack and top as desired.

ReplyDeleteThese would fly out of my house, two perfect combinations- lemon is one of our favorites, but with the blueberry on top it is a real winner.
