Ingredients

18 1/2-ounce package yellow cake mix
3 1/2-ounce package instant lemon pudding mix
4 large eggs
3/4 cup vegetable oil

Glaze:

4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
1 lemon, zested
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons water

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Spray miniature muffin tins with vegetable oil cooking spray. Combine the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs and oil and blend well with an electric mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour a small amount of batter, filling each muffin tin half way. Bake for 12 minutes. Turn out onto a tea towel

To make the glaze, sift the sugar into a mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice, zest, oil, and 3 tablespoons water. Mix with a spoon until smooth.

With fingers, dip the cupcakes into the glaze while they're still warm, covering as much of the cake as possible, or spoon the glaze over the warm cupcakes, turning them to completely coat. Place on wire racks with waxed paper underneath to catch any drips. Let the glaze set thoroughly, about 1 hour, before storing in containers with tight-fitting lids.

Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love anything with lemon and these did not disappoint! I tried the fork for dipping but later used a slotted spoon dropped... them in the glaze and then spooned them out. I thought the spoon was best and easier method.Read more

OMG-These are amazing!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Thanks to all those who have come before me. I think I spent more time reading the previews than making them! I followed... the recipe EXACTLY, but used these tips that I found in the previous reviews. I did NOT make the pudding mix. If the recipe called for lemon pudding, it would have said so. It said lemon pudding mix. Then, yes, the batter was very thick. You do need to use an electric mixer for the full two minutes. I used a small ice cream scoop to scoop the batter into the mini muffin tins. Once I figured out to fill up the scoop 3/4 of the way full, it made it very easy to place the batter in the muffin cups, and they are all the same size! I sprayed my non-stick muffin tins VERY wet, per previous advice. When I took them out of the oven, I gave it about 1 minute, then turned them over and smacked the edge of the pan on the counter. The cakes came right out. Yes, they are delicate when they are hot, so use caution when transferring them to a rack. I dipped them into the glaze right away by placing them into the glaze with my hands and using a very thin pronged fork to roll them around. When they were coated, I used my fingers and the fork to gently place them on the drying rack. The little pools of glaze were formed on top by taking them out of the glaze right side up. The glaze dripped down off the sides and bottom and pooled in the center of the tops. I will definately try some other flavors.Read more
