Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
  2. In a separate bowl, cream the unsalted butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Then, add the eggs and milk, mixing until smooth.
  3. Gently fold the dry ingredients into this mixture, and finally, incorporate the lemon zest and chopped strawberries.
  4. Prepare a mini muffin tin by greasing it lightly or lining it with mini paper liners. Spoon the batter into each muffin cup, filling them about two-thirds full.
  5. Place the muffin tin in your preheated oven and bake the Strawberry Lemonade Cake Bites for 12 to 15 minutes.
  6. Once baked, remove the tin from the oven and let it sit on a wire rack for about 5 minutes. Then transfer the bites to cool completely.
  7. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar with fresh lemon juice until smooth and glossy. Dip the tops of the cooled bites into the glaze.
  8. Place the dipped bites on a wire rack or a parchment-lined tray and let them sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes to allow the glaze to set.
