How to Make Mini Lemon Bundt Cakes
Let’s bake some mouth-watering lemon Bundt cakes! Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350 degrees. Next, mix together whole wheat pastry flour and baking powder for that perfect cakey texture. In a separate bowl, combine some unsweetened applesauce, sugar, an egg, unsweetened almond milk, nonfat plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest and chia seeds. Yum, can you taste it already?
Mix the dry ingredients into the wet mix and give it a good stir to create a batter that’s smooth and silky. Grease some mini Bundt cake or cupcake pans, pour in the batter and slide them into the oven. After just 20 to 25 minutes, your cakes will be perfectly golden and ready for the spotlight! You can check if they’re ready by poking a toothpick in – it should come out clean!
Give them some time on a cooling rack while you whip up that delicious icing. To make it, simply combine powdered sugar, unsweetened almond milk, lemon juice and lemon zest, using more milk or sugar to get the desired consistency. Once your icing is just right, pour it generously over those cute little Bundt cakes and voila – dessert is served! Get ready to indulge in some sweet, tangy goodness.
