🍋 Instructions For Mini Bundt Cake Recipes Lemon
This is the easiest bundt cake recipe on the internet.
Step 1: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease the mini bundt cake pan with the softened butter. You can use cooking spray too, but butter works much better.
The mini bundt cake pan should look like this when you are done greasing it.
Step 2: Beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until light and fluffy. The mixture should be noticeably lighter in color.
Step 3: Add eggs one at a time, alternating with flour, allowing each egg and portion of flour to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Stir lemon juice and zest into flour mixture until cake batter is just combined.
Step 4: Pour prepared lemon cake batter into greased mini bundt cakes pan.
This is the best mini lemon cakes recipe!
Step 5: Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 45 to 55 minutes. Let the bundt cake pan cool for at-least 15 minutes before removing from pan.
Step 6: Prepare a wire rack. After the bundt cakes cool completely, flip the bundt cake pan over and give it a tap with a wooden spoon. The mini bundt cakes should easily come out. If you are having trouble with this step, see my FAQ section below.
Step 7: While the lemon cakes continue to cool to room temperature, let's make our lemon glaze. In a stand mixer, add lemon juice and powdered sugar and mix on the low setting until a frosting glaze forms.
Step 8: Add fresh lemon zest and whisk together.
Step 9: Once the mini lemon bundt cakes have completely cooled, you can now frost your cakes. Drizzle the lemon glaze over the cakes on with a spoon and top with more lemon zest. Serve with coffee or tea and enjoy!

How much flour? Selfrising?
Genevieve
Hi! The recipe calls for 2-cups all purpose flour and it's updated in the recipe card. Thanks for catching this. Enjoy!
Tammy
Was looking forward to making this…. Until I realized you left out how much flour in the recipe
Genevieve
Hi Tammy, the recipe card states 2-cups all purpose flour. I hope this helps!
Katherine
I am not seeing how much flour to use in this recipe. Am I missing it somewhere?
Genevieve
Hi Katherine! The recipe calls for 2-cups all purpose flour. I hope this helps. 🙂
Andrea
Taste great but against my better judgment I buttered instead of cooking spray and let them cool completely. It's a cake massacre. Out of 12, none of them came out and I had to throw everything out, spend 30 minutes srubbing mercilessly the pans and then start again. Don't use butter, just use your cooking spray and take them out when warm.
Genevieve
Sorry to hear that Andrea, Hopefully cooking spray works better next time. Thanks for the feedback!
