Ingredients
  

  • For the cakes:
  • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup sour cream full fat recommended
  • For the glaze:
  • 4 ounces softened cream cheese
  • 2 cups sifted powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Cream butter with an electric mixture until smooth. Gradually add in the granulated sugar, beating well until mixture is light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, stirring just until incorporated after each addition. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Add flour mixture to butter mixture alternately with the sour cream, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Pour the batter into a greased and floured mini bundt pan with 8-ounce cavities, filling each cavity about 2/3 full. (The batter will yield approximately 12 mini bundt cakes). Bake for 30 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before inverting the cakes onto the rack to cool completely. While cakes cool, prepare the glaze.
  • Combine the cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla and 1 tablespoon of the lemon juice in a large mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to beat until combined, adding the additional tablespoon of lemon juice, if necessary, to achieve a drizzling consistency. Drizzle glaze over cooled cakes.

Notes

This batter can also be prepared in a standard 12-cup bundt pan by adjusting the baking time to 1 hour 30 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan on a wire rack 10 minutes before turning onto the rack to cool completely.
