It is technically Spring, but in Utah we are still getting snow. I am beyond sick of it. I really want sunny days, green grass, blooming flowers, etc. It is the end of March, I don’t feel like I am asking too much.

I made these mini lemon cakes to cheer me up. Lemon desserts always do the trick. I used my favorite lemon cake recipe from Ina. This recipe never lets me down. I really enjoyed using my new mini bundt pan too. The cakes are adorable! They are the perfect size and they actually came out easily, sometimes I get nervous with the pretty pans!

I think these little cakes would be fun to serve at a dinner party, garnished with fresh berries. If you don’t have a mini bundt pan, you can use a loaf pan, muffin tin, really any pan will do!

Have a great weekend everyone. I hope it is Spring wherever you are!!
Get the best of the best!

  33. Thanks – I am excited to bake these next week and noticed there is no baking time. How long did you bake them compared to the 50 minutes for the loaf? Cannot wait to hear a response both on baking time and the previous question on yield.

    I’m so delighted to make these for a bridal shower to hold on to the summer as long as possible, even though it is starting to get cold outside!

    1. It depends on the size of the mini Bundt pan since there are so many sizes. Many other recipes for mini Bundt cakes say 12-15 minutes. Then adjust if they’re tiny minis or some silicone molds are 4” diameter so make take longer. I would use a toothpick at different times to find what works for your size pans

  34. I also love Ina’s lemon yogurt cake, and funny enough I was just thinking about putting it into my mini bundt pan which led me to find your blog. Did you just grease your pan or flour it as well?

    Thanks

  35. Does the baking time need to be adjusted for mini bunts vs. Loaf pan?  How many does this make?  Thanks I can not wait to try them!

  36. How much did you adjust the original recipe timewise for switching to the mini bundt pans? thx…looks so yummy
