Can I make Mini Lemon Cakes without lavender?

Yes, absolutely. The lavender is optional and can be replaced with lemon glaze or vanilla icing. The cakes will still taste fresh and delicious.

Can I use bottled lemon juice?

Fresh lemon juice is highly recommended because it provides a brighter and more natural flavor compared to bottled versions.

How do I keep Mini Lemon Cakes moist?

Avoid overbaking and store them properly in an airtight container. Using oil instead of butter can also help retain moisture.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, you can bake the cakes a day in advance and glaze them just before serving for the best appearance and taste.

What pan should I use?

A mini muffin pan or silicone molds work best. You can also use a standard muffin pan but adjust baking time slightly.
