Mini lemon and raspberry cakes are a delightful treat that combine the tangy flavor of lemons with the sweet and tart taste of fresh raspberries. These mini cakes are perfect for a tea party, dessert, or even just a sweet snack. Made with simple ingredients like eggs, sugar, Greek yogurt, and a touch of lemon zest, these cakes are moist, fluffy, and bursting with flavor.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, mix the ground almonds, flour, and baking powder until well combined. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Add the Greek yogurt and melted butter, whisking until smooth. Stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring gently until no dry streaks remain.
Gently fold in the raspberries, being careful not to crush them too much.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top of each mini cake.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean. The cakes should be golden brown on top and spring back when lightly pressed.
Allow the cakes to cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your mini lemon and raspberry cakes as a delightful treat. They can be served plain or with a light dusting of powdered sugar on top.
Tips:
- Ensure that all ingredients are at room temperature before starting, as this helps in better mixing and rising of the cakes.
- Gently fold the raspberries into the batter to avoid breaking them and causing the batter to turn pink.
- Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and texture, but if you use frozen raspberries, do not thaw them before adding to the batter.
- Sift the flour and baking powder together to ensure an even distribution of the baking powder, which helps the cakes rise evenly.
- For an extra lemony flavor, you can add a bit more lemon zest or a splash of lemon extract.
Baking mini lemon and raspberry cakes is a wonderful way to enjoy the refreshing flavors of lemon and raspberries. With a few simple steps and some helpful tips, you can create these delightful mini cakes that are perfect for any occasion. Enjoy them fresh out of the oven or store them for later—they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
