I know I said last post I wasn’t gonna make more desserts
for at least a week. But can we really consider this a dessert? At least I
don’t consider it a dessert, it’s more like a snack and it goes really good
with tea or coffee. Even though it has sugar you don’t really taste it. It’s
like a cross between a scone and a cupcake. This recipe yields a lot of them so I really recommend making
a half batch. Hope you guys like it. My hubby devoured them! Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1-½ cups of butter, softened
1 package of cream cheese, softened (8 oz)
2-¼ cups sugar
6 eggs
3 Tablespoons of lemon juice
2 teaspoons of lemon extract
1 ½ teaspoons grated lemon zest
3 cups of all-purpose flour
Glaze:
5 ¼ cups of confectioner’s sugar
½ cup plus 3 tablespoons 2% milk
3 ½ teaspoons lemon extract
Procedure:
Preheat oven at 325 degrees.
In the bowl of a stand mixer add butter.
Add the cream cheese.
Add the sugar.
Cream until fluffy.
Add eggs, one at a time
Beat in the lemon juice, the lemon extract and the lemon
zest.
Add the flour and mix until combined.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until toothpick comes out
clean.
While baking
make the glaze. Combine all ingredients well.
When the lemon cakes come out of the oven let them cool for
3 to 5 minutes and then dip the top’s in the glaze. Let them set on a piece of parchment
paper.
Enjoy!!
