Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your mini bundt cake pan thoroughly to ensure easy removal.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar together until light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
- Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared mini bundt cake pan, filling each cavity about two-thirds full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Decorating
- In a small bowl, mix the powdered sugar with lemon juice until smooth. Adjust consistency with more sugar or juice if necessary.
- Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cakes. Garnish with your choice of toppings such as chopped nuts or edible flowers.
Serving
- Once decorated, serve the mini bundt cakes fresh as a delightful dessert or with afternoon tea.
Storage
- Store the cakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
