Description

A delightful dessert that combines the zesty flavor of lemon with a sweet glaze, perfect for any occasion!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • Zest of 2 lemons
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice for glaze
  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a square baking pan and line it with parchment paper.

  2. Prepare the Batter: In a bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice.

  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

  4. Mix Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk. Mix until just combined. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  5. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  6. Prepare the Glaze: While the cake is baking, mix the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl until smooth.

  7. Drizzle with Glaze: Once the cake is done, let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Remove the cake from the pan and place it on a wire rack. Drizzle the prepared lemon glaze over the warm cake bites. Optionally, sprinkle with additional lemon zest for garnish.

  8. Serving: Cut the cake into bite-sized pieces and serve.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is softened at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • For a more intense lemon flavor, consider adding more lemon zest or a touch of lemon extract.
  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor in both the cake and the glaze.
  • If you prefer a less sweet glaze, adjust the amount of powdered sugar to taste.
