Lemon Blossoms

Makes about 5 dozen blossoms

1 box yellow cake mix
1 (3.4 oz) box instant lemon flavored pudding mix
4 large eggs
3/4 c plus 3 T vegetable oil, divided
4 c powdered sugar
1 T lemon zest (about 1 lemon)
1/3 c fresh lemon juice
3 T water

Preheat oven to 350. Spray muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray.

In a large bowl, combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, and 3/4 cup of oil; beat at medium speed with an electric mixer for 2 minutes. Using a scooper, place 1 small scoop of batter into each muffin cup. Bake for 9-12 minutes. Turn cakes onto a cloth towel.

In a medium bowl, sift the powdered sugar. Add zest and lemon juice, remaining 3 T of oil, and water, stirring until smooth. Dip cakes into glaze while cakes are still warm, covering as much of the cake as possible. Place cakes on wire racks with wax paper underneath to catch drips. Let glaze set thoroughly before storing in an airtight container.
