Method
 

Cake Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.
  3. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and mix in chopped strawberries until just combined.
Baking
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a mini muffin tin by greasing it.
  2. Spoon the batter into each cavity of the tin, filling about two-thirds full.
  3. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  4. Remove from oven and cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Glaze Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, combine powdered sugar, lemon juice, and strawberry puree.
  2. Whisk until smooth and glossy, adding more lemon juice if too thick.
Glazing
  1. Once cooled, dip each cake bite into the glaze, allowing excess to drip back.
  2. Place glazed bites on a rack or parchment-lined tray, ensuring they don’t touch.
Serving
  1. Let the glazed bites rest at room temperature for about 30 minutes to set.
  2. Serve the same day for best freshness or store any leftovers in an airtight container.
