Instructions

Make the cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°. Prepare pan by brushing softened butter in the holes of the Bundt pan, making sure to get into the crevices. Take a pinch or two of flour and from 6" above the pan, lightly dust the flour into the buttered holes of the pan.
  2. Cream 4 tablespoons of butter with 1/2 cup sugar in a mixing bowl with a hand mixer. When it's nice and fluffy, add the egg, yogurt, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until combined.
  3. In a separate mixing bowl, stir together the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, sea salt). Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients while mixing with hand mixer until just combined.
  4. Divide the batter evenly amongst the holes of the greased and floured pan. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. The edges of the cakes should be a little golden.
  5. Let cakes cool in the Bundt pan for 5 minutes, then turn them out onto a cooling rack.

Make the glaze

  1. Combine the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and melted butter in a small bowl. When the cakes have cooled, spoon the glaze over the cakes. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure to use the "spoon & level" method for measuring flour for consistent results.
  • To prevent the cakes from sticking in the pan, be sure to prepare pan with softened butter and a dusting of flour.
  • Fresh lemons are a must.  We use the zest and juice in this recipe.
  • The rosebud mini Bundt pan has a 2.25 cup capacity.  Other pans may require more or less baking time.
  • Regular yogurt is more watery and less thick than Greek yogurt, so it may not produce the same results.
  • Store cakes in an air-tight container at room temperature for 1-2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
