This is Heather's recipe, she got it from Paula Deen, and I made a few teensy modifications to avoid a little arterial clogging. You've all been lovin' em for awhile now, so have at it yourselves. Check out Paula's site, I think both my cakies and my photo are better. PS I think I might try this with lime pudding and lime zest, etc. Do they sell lime pudding? Muffins
1 yellow cake mix
Small box (3 1/2 ounces) instant lemon pudding mix
4 large eggs
½ cup natural applesauce
¼ cup vegetable oil
1 yellow cake mix
Small box (3 1/2 ounces) instant lemon pudding mix
4 large eggs
½ cup natural applesauce
¼ cup vegetable oil
Glaze
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
Zest of one lemon
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons water
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
Zest of one lemon
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons water
Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Spray mini muffin tins with cooking spray. Combine the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, applesauce and oil and blend well. Fill each muffin tin half way with batter.
Bake for 12 minutes.
Make the glaze while the cakes are baking. Sift the sugar into a mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice, lemon oil, oil, and 3 tablespoons water.
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.
