4. To serve, gently tap sides of bowls to release cakes; invert cakes onto Cutting Board. Transfer cakes to serving plates using Mini-Serving Spatula. Drizzle glaze over cakes. Garnish with lemon knots, if desired.

In the video they say to do this step while they are still hot - once the sugar cools they will be difficult to release from the bowls.

I am planning to make these for the first time at my meeting - maybe I'll do one batch just before or as they arrive and the second as the first part of our meeting. I think it'll be an awesome demo!

Ok, why invert onto a cutting board and then move to a plate? That seems like an extra step. I just invert them onto a plate.

Does anyone know if this can be baked in the oven? It was asked at a meeting tonight, as the prep bowls are supposed to be oven-safe, but no one really knew for sure. The girl who asked also wondered how the lemon slices would be affected, if at all...

Thanks!

I made them in the oven but I didnt use the prep bowls I seem to have lost one but I did them in the mini fluted stone they were really yummy. I took the rind off before I ate them though

 

[Kodeysmom]

We made these last night at home. They were pretty good. We started coming up with different variations. My 3 1/2 yr old DS helped with this!! We want to somehow try strawberry, cherry, orange (has been discussed on here already).
My DS ate 2 of these last night!!!

This would be an easy way to show the sheet pan too.

These little cakes are one of the best recipes I've ever tried! I watched the video on CC and don't remember them using the cutting board, just the appetizer plates.

Some where on here is a version in the oven in the fluted pan. It has a double recipe to make in it.

 

[BethCooks4U]

I thought the same thing, Cindy - why do the cutting board step? I am thinking maybe so you have a little more control when placing them on the plate (that cup is gonna be hot)?

 

[ChefNic]

Are these good after they cool? Or is it best to serve warm?

I thought about making some ahead, and some as the demo, to have enough, but wasn't sure if it would turn out like the Choc. Mexican Cake (SBRC F/W 07) when it cools down it become very dry! It's a microwave cake too...

So is the Lemon MIni Glazed cakes good after they cool down to room temperature???
Thx

We ate them warm but refrigerated the left overs and warmed them back up in the microwave. Guess I haven't ate them cold yet. They should be fine.

I don't know about this recipe in the oven, but I do know the prep bowls are oven safe like the batter bowls. I have baked with them in the oven before. I made mini-cakes chocolate cakes and turned them into spiders for Halloween on year.

Yes they can be baked in the oven:Cook's Tip: These cakes can be baked in a conventional oven, if desired. Place Prep Bowls onto Medium Sheet Pan and bake at 350°F for 24-26 minutes. Proceed as recipe directs.

 

[PurpleAngel]

this sounds yummy

 

[Kodeysmom]

I am not sure if they are good cold either. They were very moist though, not sure how much they would dry out. You could prepare them and then cook them at the show.

 

[JAE]

I just made these tonight for the fam. Love them! I think I'll go try one cooled down. Hee hee! I'll let you know. The fresh lemon is so excellent!
I'll get back to you about the cooled ones. Ssshhh. Don't tell my family.

 

[JAE]

YES! Good cooled down. My microwave cooks PC cakes fast. I only put them in for the lower amount of time and they were done. The middle of the cake was a little dry even when it was warm. I think it needs a hole in the middle so the glaze will go into the cake. Love the glaze. For not being chocolate, these are excellent.

 

[pamperedlinda]

That was pretty fast Jae....are you sure they were cool?

I didn't write the first review until a bit after we had the warm ones. I wrote the review on the cool one while I was still "taste testing" it. So it was actually cool.

 

[pamperedlinda]

I thought maybe you were impatient! Or that you stuck it in the freezer

 

[JAE]

No, I'm just a pig!

BTW- I have to chime in...they are YUMMY cold the next day for breakfast!

I was surprised, you use the thin blade on the mandoline (not the V-shaped one that you would normally use for lemons) and it makes them paper thin. After baking, you can eat the lemon, rind and all!

I knew it was you, just couldn't remember where it was!

I tried to save time this weekend and not get the mandoline out. It doesn't work as well when you don't get the lemons super thin.

This recipe calls for 2 tbsp butter for the cake and 2 tbsp butter for the glaze. Has anyone tried substituting margarine?
