Ingredients:
For the Mini Cakes:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 1 egg
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
For the Glaze:
- 1 ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp milk
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp butter, melted
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda.
- Make the Buttery Mixture: In a small saucepan, melt the butter, add water, stir, and bring to a boil.
- Combine: Pour the hot buttery mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Then add sour cream, egg, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Beat until smooth.
- Bake: Grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray. Fill each cup with batter and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack.
- Prepare the Glaze: While the cakes cool, mix powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, milk, and melted butter. Heat for 10-15 seconds in the microwave if needed.
