Yield Makes 2 1/2 cups batter, enough for about 12 small cakes (about 2 1/2 inches in diameter)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
3/4 cup cake flour (not self-rising)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole milk
Chocolate Glaze for Miniature Yellow Butter Cakes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a cast-iron pan, and dust with all-purpose flour, tapping out excess. Sift together flours, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl.
  • Beat butter and sugar with a mixer on medium speed, scraping down sides of bowl as needed, until pale and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. Reduce speed to low, and add flour mixture in three additions, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture, mixing well after each addition.
  • Fill pan halfway, and bake until golden around edges (time will vary depending on size of pan). Remove from oven, and let cool in pan for 15 minutes. Transfer cakes from pan to a wire rack. Let cool. Coat each with glaze just before serving.

Overall, I thought these cakes were just okay. I probably won't make them again.

These cakes were a bit dry. I think I should have added more butter to the batter.

I had some trouble getting the cakes to rise evenly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

These cakes are a little too sweet for my taste. I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a fan of lemon glaze, so I used a chocolate glaze instead. It was delicious!

These cakes are so versatile. You can serve them with fruit, ice cream, or whipped cream. They're also great for making cake pops.

I love that these cakes can be made ahead of time. It's so convenient to be able to just pop them in the oven when you're ready to serve them.
