Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 box (3.4 oz) instant lemon pudding mix
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- ½ cup oil (canola or vegetable)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 small lemon
- Juice from the zested lemon
For the glaze:
- 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Spray a mini bundt pan with baking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, lemon pudding mix, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until light and creamy. Add the oil, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
- Pipe or spoon the batter into the prepared mini bundt pans, filling each cavity about two-thirds full. Tap the pan on the counter to release air bubbles.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.
- Allow the bundt cakes to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully inverting them onto a wire rack. Let them cool completely.
- For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle over the cooled bundt cakes.
Notes
- Make Ahead: You can bake the cakes a day in advance. Store them in an airtight container and glaze them just before serving.
- Substitutions: Swap Greek yogurt with sour cream if needed.
- Decorating Tip: Sprinkle extra lemon zest or powdered sugar on top for added flair.
