Ingredients
For the Lemon Blossoms:
- 1 package yellow cake mix (approximately 18.5 oz)
- 1 package instant lemon pudding mix (approximately 3.5 oz)
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
For the Glaze:
- 4 cups confectioners’ sugar
- 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Zest from 1 lemon
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 tablespoons water
Directions
1. Preheat Your Oven:
Set your oven to the temperature recommended on the cake mix package for muffins, or use 350°F as a general guideline. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, and oil. Mix until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.
2. Prepare the Muffin Tin:
Grease your muffin tin or line it with paper baking cups. Fill each cup with the batter, ensuring they are about two-thirds full.
3. Bake:
Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake according to the instructions on the cake mix package, typically for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
4. Prepare the Glaze:
While the Lemon Blossoms are baking, prepare the glaze. In a bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, vegetable oil, and water until smooth and slightly runny.
5. Glaze the Lemon Blossoms:
Once the Lemon Blossoms are baked to perfection, allow them to cool slightly in the tin. While still warm, dip the tops into the glaze or drizzle it generously over each blossom.
6. Serve and Enjoy:
Let the glaze set before serving. These Lemon Blossoms are perfect for brunch, a morning snack, or a mid-day treat. Their vibrant, tangy flavor will brighten any day and leave your guests longing for more. So, unleash your inner baker and create these Lemon Blossoms – a zesty treat that will delight your loved ones!
Enjoy!
