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.
