Little Lemon Cakes
I like muffins/cupcakes purely because they are little individual servings. One little cup, just for me? Aw, you shouldn’t have.
I went through my baking supplies and found these little scalloped yellow paper cups which made me think of lemon. These little lemon cakes will brighten up any dreary day.
