GLAZED LEMON CAKES
This is a recipe from Everyday Food with a few tips from making them several times. The original recipe yielded 6 jumbo sized cupcakes but I've always made a dozen standard size cupcakes. They get rave reviews and are perfect for baby showers and other parties. I have made the cakes ahead of time, frozen them, thawed them out the night before the party and then glazed them the day of so the glaze stays nice. I think they taste best with Meyer lemons, but they are great with any type of lemon really. I have always used the yogurt becuase I usually have it on hand and not buttermilk. I bet it would be just as yummy with the buttermilk.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees (or 325 for convection bake). Butter and flour standard muffin tin. In a medium bowl, whisk the four with the baking powder and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt (or buttermilk) vanilla, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Set aside.
- With an electric mixer, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. With the mixer on low speed, add the four mixture in three batches, alternating with two additions of the yogurt mixture.
- Divide evenly amongst the muffin cups (perfectly portioned when using a standard level ice cream scoop). Bake until the toothpick inserted in teh center of a cake comes clean, 15 - 20 minutes (closer to 15 with convection bake). Cool for 10 minutes in tin, then cool completely on a wire rack.
- Set the rack over wax or parchment paper. In a small bowl, stir confectioners' sugar with teh remaining 2 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth (add more lemon juice if needed). Pour over the cakes, spreading to the edges with a small knife. Let stand for 30 minutes before serving.

[email protected]Not bad, but not great. The glaze was a bit too thick for my taste, and the cakes were a little dry.
