I've been waiting a long time to make this Breakfast-in-Rome Lemon Cake. It's one of the first recipes I tagged after I got the cookbook, Baking with Dorie, by Dorie Greenspan.
I decided to experiment by making half a recipe, and making individual bundtlettes. Unintentionally, I also conducted a second experiment with this recipe.
All the hardware/software prep was done in advance. As was merrily zesting a freshly picked lemon, when I suddenly realized I was zesting it over the flour mixture rather than the sugar. Whoops! There were several options I could have used to fix this, but, in the end, I decided just to rub the zest into the flour and see what would happen.
Now, if I hadn't exposed my little error, you would never have known the difference. The cakes turned out beautifully delicious, light and spongy. Next time, however, I will double check that I'm zesting over the correct bowl!
Stop by Tuesdays with Dories website to see which recipe the bakers made for the second March challenge.

Always a giggle to hear that others have issues when baking as well. I can't tell you the number of times I set something aside and then look over and see that I didn't add it at the right time. Surprisingly, most of the time it didn't matter, but sometimes...well, I've started over more than once and morphed the other things into other things...a lot of interesting pancakes for instance. Lol. Your cake looks beautiful and it is nice to know that minis work out so well...we do a lot of minis here these days.
We have all made mistakes before but that sounds like a minor one. I think your little Bundts came out great.
