Lemon cake pops

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 150 g butter, soft
• 150 g sugar
• 1 packet of vanilla sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 pinch of salt
• 300 g flour
• ½ pack of baking powder
• 1 pack of lemon peel
• 3 dashes lemon juice
• 250 ml milk
• Butter for the mold

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 25 minutes; Total time approx. 55 minutes

for baking in the mold or in the cake pop maker

Cream the softened or melted butter together with the sugar, vanilla sugar, and eggs until fluffy. If using melted butter, make sure it cools slightly before adding the eggs. Then add the flour, salt, baking powder, and lemon zest alternately with the milk and beat until smooth. Finally, add the lemon juice and stir in. I made the cake pops in a baking pan, but the batter will also work in a cake pop maker. Preheat the oven to 175°C (top/bottom heat). Brush both the top and bottom of the baking pan thoroughly with butter. On the top, you can brush a little extra around the outside of the small holes so that any batter that overflows can be easily removed. Fill the bottom of the pan right to the brim, ideally with two teaspoons. Place the top over the pan and snap together. Place the pan on the middle baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. You can use a skewer to check through the holes at the top of the pan whether the cake pops are cooked through. Let the pan cool slightly before removing them. Then let them cool completely. Refill the pan and bake the remaining cake pops in the same way until the batter is used up. Grease the pan if necessary. I made about 45 cake pops, but it also depends on the size of the pan. To attach the skewers to the little cakes, I pre-drilled holes with the skewer, then dipped the skewer about 1 cm into icing and inserted it. After about 5 minutes you can start decorating. When it comes to decoration, there are no limits to your imagination. Cover them with chocolate or cake icing, use colorful fondant, or even color your own icing. Sprinkles and decorations of all kinds stick best while the coating is still warm or soft.
