Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15.25 oz Yellow cake mix
- 3.4 oz Instant lemon pudding mix
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.75 cup Vegetable oil
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.33 cup Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Grated lemon zest
- 3 tbsp Butter (melted)
- 3 tbsp Water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or grease it well.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, instant lemon pudding mix, eggs, and vegetable oil. Mix with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth and well combined.
Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a mini cake comes out clean.
While the lemon blossoms are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, freshly squeezed lemon juice, grated lemon zest, melted butter, and water until smooth and lump-free.
Remove the mini cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Once slightly cooled, dip each lemon blossom into the glaze mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Place the glazed cakes on the wire rack to let any excess glaze drip off.
Allow the glaze to set for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. Enjoy your zesty and sweet Lemon Blossoms!
