Mix in the eggs, zest, juice, and vanilla. Add the dry ingredients in two stages, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined. Spoon 3 tablespoons of batter into each mold cup. Bake for 25 minutes, rotating after 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 5-10 minutes. Invert onto a cooling rack and cool completely.
  • Place the cooling rack on a sheet pan and pour the warm glaze over the cakes. With a peeler shave the white chocolate. Sprinkle the curls over the cakes and garnish with lemon zest.
