Mini Lemon Cakes


So good and so easy to make. Play around and create other flavors.....

Basic Recipe:
1 yellow cake mix (boxed, I know!)
4 eggs
3/4 cup oil
1- 3.5oz box pudding, I used lemon
Lemon Zest

Glaze:
4 cups powered sugar
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
Lemon zest
3T oil
3T water

Mix all together and bake at 350 for 12 minutes. I use the mini muffin tins so they come out bite sized.

Cool. Make glaze and dip with a fork, place on wire rack. May be dipped twice for extra sweetness.
