Lemon Snowballs, A Rumford Complete Cookbook Recipe


A lemony sweetness in these moist mini cakes is a perfect little delicate dessert! If you love lemony flavor in a cake, you will love these!


I love lemon recipes. It is such a refreshing flavor. The cheery yellow, the bright taste, and the smell of fresh lemons makes me happy! All of that in light fluffy little cakes, drizzled with a tasty warm lemon sauce.


The Lemon Snowballs recipe is on page 98 of the Rumford Complete Cookbook from 1908. Below is a photo of the recipe.


Here is my version with some revisions.
