Description

Tender and moist cakes (or muffins) with the right amount of lemon and amazingly simple glaze.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 heaping tablespoons lemon zest (from about 2 large lemons)
  • 1/2 cup salted butter, room temperature
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup whole milk (or milk alternative)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract (optional but encouraged)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups gluten free flour blend (I used this kind)
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tablespoons poppy seeds

Glaze

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoons milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

Mix all ingredients together and set aside until needed


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. If using a muffin tin pan or silicone molds, spray well with cooking spray or whip with shortening.
  2. Using a stand mixer, blend together the sugar and lemon zest for 30 seconds on low. Add in the butter and mix on medium/high for 1-2 minutes or until it is whipped and a light yellow color.
  3. Add in the sour cream, milk, lemon juice, eggs, vanilla and lemon extract. Mix on low, until just combine.
  4. Pour in the salt, flour, baking soda, baking powder and poppy seeds and mix for 30 seconds. Scrap down the sides and continue to mix, if needed.
  5. Spoon the batter into the prepared molds and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the sides are slightly browned and the center is cooked through. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes in the pans. Remove from the pans and continue to let cool on a wire rack.
  6. Drizzle with the glaze.

Notes

Keep in an air tight container or ziploc bag for 3-4 days or freeze for 1-2 weeks.
