Hi! Can’t wait to make this! Are you using cake flour, ap, or a combination of the two? Thank you so much
Hi! I used AP flour for these cakes. I hope you love them as much as I do!
Hii! This looks delicious but I was wondering if you can make this in an 8 inch pan? Would doubling it help in the 8 inch pan? Thank youu!!
Hi! This recipe should work fine in an 8″ pan. I would adjust bake time, maybe test around 45 minutes for doneness. Let me know how it goes!
Could you do this in a large muffin tin?
Sure, seems they’d just be a bit smaller. Watch the bake time and check them a little earlier. Enjoy!
I ordered the mini cake pans. Would love a blueberry version of the mini lemon coffee cakes 🙂
Thank you for all of the work you put into these recipes.
Thanks for letting me know! I hope you enjoy these lemon cakes…they’re a favorite! If you love them, adding blueberries to this recipe would be delicious.
I just made these this morning, and they are delicious!!! I added blueberries, just so I could feel like I was eating healthy!! LOL The cake is so light but still moist, and the crunchy topping was amazing! I could eat the glaze with a spoon, but managed to get most of it on the little cakes!!! I already had mini spring-form pans, so this worked out perfectly!!! I guess I’m going to need to keep Greek yogurt on my weekly grocery list; it’s something I never buy, but I will now!! These are going to be a go-to dessert in our house from now on!!! We LOVE lemon!!!! Thanks so much for this amazing recipe!!!
I’m so glad you enjoyed them! They’re a big favorite over here too. Thank you so much for sharing your experience!
Looks beautiful! I’m looking forward to trying this when we are up at our family cabin. This will be a real treat for everyone!
This is a favorite of mine, I hope you and your family enjoy!
