Ingredients

Cake

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/4 cup oil
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoon lemon juice

Note

If you plan to freeze these, leave off the glaze and freeze them plain. Add the glaze after thawing for best results.

Directions

Cake
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350
In a mixing bowl, cream the butter, oil, sugar, and lemon zest until light and fluffy.
Step 2
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing after each addition.
Step 3
Add lemon juice, salt, and extracts and mix well.
Step 4
Add baking soda, baking powder, cornstarch and half of the flour and mix well.
Step 5
Add sour cream and mix again.
Add remaining flour and mix until well incorporated.
Step 6
Grease mini muffin tins well (or use mini cupcake liners) and fill each cavity 3/4 full.
Bake 8 minutes or until tester comes out clean.
Let cool and remove from tins and cool completely before glazing.
Glaze
Step 7
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and lemon juice until it is the texture of glue. Add more juice if too thick, or more sugar if too runny.
Drizzle over cakes or dip the tops into the glaze. Allow glaze to harden before storing in a lightly sealed container.
