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.

About that pudding . . . .
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

When the box says instant pudding, it is not kidding. Truly. The batter set up in the bowl long before I could ladle it -... ever so carefully - into those tiny miniature cupcake pans. If the ancient Egyptians had used this batter as mortar for the pyramids, the structures would be in better shape today. Otherwise, all went well. The cupcakes taste just fine, and the glaze is amazing.Read more

Extra lemon please!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I am a huge lemon fan, so I made a few adjustments. I made the batter as Paula did, but added a some lemon extract and fresh... lemon zest. Had more lemon flavor then what was written, but not overwhelming at all. Also, made my own frosting.... deleted the vegetable oil and water, instead added milk and more lemon juice, with lemon zest. Turned out perfectly! Cupcakes were chewy and crispy on the outside and nice and moist in the instead. Love Paula's lemon recipes!Read more

I love this recipe, I made it the first time and it turned out yummy! I lost the recipe and looked it up online at paulas... web site and it hasn't turned out the same since, cake mix is to thick doesnt bake well, and the glaze is too thick, so i looked up the recipe again and reading the comments, I will try and keep trying till I get it rite. This dessert is the best friends and family want more.Read more
