To transform your simple bundt cakes into a stunning centerpiece for your Easter table, sprinkle some golden-brown coconut shreds on top of the cake.

These toasted shreds add a delightful crunch and a hint of tropical flavor.

And don’t forget to add a little bit of magic – chocolate eggs in various colors!

Nestled on the coconut nests, these eggs create a whimsical Easter-themed display that will surely impress your guests.

how to cook Mini Lemon Bundt Cakes?

STEP 1

To start, preheat your oven to 180°C (350⁰F). In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt, and give it a good mix.

STEP 2

Next, grab a large bowl and crack in the eggs. Add sugar and beat the mixture with a mixer until it becomes a fluffy pale mass. Take your time with this step.

STEP 3

Now, gradually add half of the flour mixture to the egg-sugar mixture. Pour in some milk and squeeze in some lemon juice. Then, add the remaining half of the flour mixture. Keep mixing until everything is well combined.

STEP 4

Time to add some extra flavor! Pour in the melted butter and sprinkle in some lemon zest. Use your mixer at a low speed to ensure everything blends together smoothly.

TIPS: Melt your butter either on the stove or in the microwave – whichever is more convenient for you.

TIPS: Instead of using butter, you can opt for good quality margarine. It works just as well! But keep in mind that margarine contains salt. So, you might want to reduce the amount of salt in the recipe. Just a little heads up!

TIPS: Want to make the lemon flavor in the cake even better? Just grind some sugar with freshly grated lemon zest. Trust me, it’s a game-changer!

STEP 5

Grab a silicone baking pan for six 9cm mini bundt cakes. Grease it up so nothing sticks. Fill each mini bundt cake pit about 3/4 full with the dough you just made.

STEP 6

Place the pan in your preheated to 180°C (350⁰F) oven and let it bake for about 40-45 minutes, or until it turns a lovely golden brown.

STEP 7

Once it’s done, leave the bundt cakes in the pan for 5 minutes to make it easier to remove. After that, carefully take the bundt cakes out of the pan and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

TIPS: Wondering if your cake is ready? Stick a wooden stick or toothpick into the center – if it comes out clean, your cake is done.

TIPS: To stabilize an inverted cake, use a bread knife with a serrated blade to cut off the top.

STEP 8

While the bundt cakes are cooling, let’s make a delicious icing. Grab a small bowl and pour in some powdered sugar. Add lemon juice and mix everything together until it becomes smooth and creamy.

TIPS: When it comes to icing, I’ve got you covered. If it’s too thick for your liking, simply add a little more lemon juice. On the other hand, if it’s too thin, sprinkle in some powdered sugar to thicken it up.

TIPS: Now, here’s one more head up about icing. It hardens pretty quickly. So, make sure to use it right away to avoid any clumpy disasters.

TIPS: Last but not least, let’s talk about icing these bundt cakes again. For a picture-perfect finish, it’s best to ice them on a wire rack. This way, any excess icing can gracefully drip off, leaving you with a beautifully decorated treat.

STEP 9

Once the bundt cakes have cooled, it’s time to add the finishing touches. Pour the icing over the bundt cakes, creating a beautiful spiral pattern. Sprinkle some fried coconut shreds on top and get creative with some chocolate eggs for decoration.

STEP 10

Now, it’s time to enjoy your Mini Lemon Bundt Cakes! Cut them into equal pieces and serve them alongside a nice cup of tea. Bon appétit!
