I am pretty excited to head to the Food Wine Conference in sunny Orlando next week! I’m going to meet up with two of my good bloggy friends – Betsy from Desserts Required and Raquel from Organized Island – and I’m really looking forward to making some new bloggy friends! As a part of the conference, Florida Dairy Farmers is sponsoring a contest to develop a recipe made with milk. Looking ahead to summer, I thought these Mini Lemon Bundt Cakes would be just the perfect thing!

Don’t you think lemon is one of the perfect summer flavors? It’s so light and refreshing, and it makes me think of relaxing in the sun, no matter what I’m doing! I found these NordicWare Bundt Bites baking pans at my local Walmart (you can find them on Amazon here), and I’ve been waiting for the right recipe to try them with.

This recipe for lemon cakes couldn’t be easier! I started with a box of Duncan Hines Signature Lemon Supreme cake mix, skipped the box directions, and used whole milk, Greek yogurt, and melted butter instead.

Mix that all together and put the cake batter into your bundt bites pan, and off to the oven! It did take a little experimenting to figure out how much batter to put in each bundt cup. I settled on about 2-3 Tablespoons in each cup. I used a scoop like this one to get my cakes as even as I could.

And what better icing to go with a simple cake like this than a simple powdered sugar icing? Make this icing ahead of time, and keep it in the refrigerator until you’re ready to eat the cakes. Then drizzle it over the top of the cakes. If you put the icing on too soon, it will soak into the cakes. It still tastes delicious, it just doesn’t look quite as pretty. This easy dessert is already a big favorite around here!

Enjoy!
