A tiny lemon cake made from a small dry mix of flour, sugar and baking powder with lemon extract. It bakes in a play oven for a toy-sized treat.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon lemon extract
4 teaspoons water

Directions

Grease and flour a 4-inch miniature cake pan.
In a small bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and lemon extract (one packet of dry mix).
Add the 4 teaspoons water and stir until smooth.
Pour the batter into the pan.
Bake in a play oven for 12 to 13 minutes.
Let cool in the pan on a rack for 5 minutes.
Turn out onto a small plate, and frost once fully cooled if you like.

Notes

Storage: dry mix airtight in a cool, dry pantry up to about 3 months. Unfrosted cake about 1 day covered at room temperature or up to 3 days refrigerated.
