Mojito Mini Cakes
Like most, I am trying to hold onto Summer this year before getting into Fall. And what else would you need, if not a little “baked” mojito for an endless Summer.
I have been following Armelle for so many years now, she is funny, witty and does not count her calories. Everything she makes is hearty and full of flavors. Her recipe is perfect for Summertime.
Don’t hesitate to double the fresh mint
Bon Appétit!

Equipment
Ingredients
MINI LOAF
- 0.75 oz (20 g) fresh mint (chopped)
- 2 lime (zest & juice)
- 3.5 oz (100 g) butter (softened)
- 3 oz (85 g) sugar
- 0.5 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 eggs
- 8.5 oz (250 g) flour (sifted)
- 2.5 tsp (12 g) baking powder
- 2 tbsp white rum ((optional))
LIME GLAZE
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 1 lime (zest & juice)
Instructions
MINI LOAF
- Preheat oven at 350F/180C.
- Wash the fresh mint under cold water and towel dry. Place the leaves in the mini herb chopper, give it a few turns, until finely chopped. Set aside.
- Using the mini grater, collect the zest from your lime. Then, with the citrus press collect the lime juice. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together butter, sugar and cream. Add the eggs, one at a time, mix until smooth.
- Using a spatula carefully fold in the flour and baking powder. Add, mint, lime zest and juice.
- (Optional) Stir in a white rum of your choice.
- Pour your batter into the flexipan® with the mini ladle.
- Bake for 25 minutes at 350F/180C. (Every oven heats differently, monitor your mini cakes from 20min)
- Once your mini cakes are out of the oven, let them cool down for about 10min. Then, Unmold, Serve and Enjoy!
- (Optional) I like to add a little icing on the mini cakes once they have cooled down (1 cup of icing sugar mixed with the zest and juice of one lime)
LIME GLAZE
- In a small bowl, using the mini whisk, mix icing sugar and lime juice with zest together.
