Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 (3.5 oz) package instant lemon pudding mix
- 1 (18.5-oz) package yellow cake mix
- 3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons for glaze vegetable oil
- 3/4 cup water
- 4 cups confectioner's sugar
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 zested lemon
- 3 tablespoons water
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 °F
Spray miniature muffin tins with vegetable oil cooking spray. Combine the cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, 3/4 cup oil and 3/4 cup water and blend well with an electric mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes. Pour a small amount of batter, filling each muffin tin half way. Bake for 12 minutes. Turn out onto a tea towel.
To make the glaze, sift the sugar into a mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice, zest, 3 tablespoons oil and 3 tablespoons water. Mix with a spoon until smooth.
With fingers, 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 one hour, before storing in containers with tight-fitting lids.

I watched your video on Facebook for this recipe. You added 3/4 cup of water to your cake batter mixture along with 3/4 cup of oil. I don't see the 3/4 cup water in this recipe. I made this recipe today and added water and oil to the cake batter. They turned out great!
The recipe has been updated to reflect the water ingredient: https://www.pauladeen.com/recipe/lemon-blossoms/
Hi I have made these before and absolutely love them! I am having some guests over that have a gluten allergy and I am wondering if I could use a gluten free cake mix? Or would this likely change the entire consistency of the dessert? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated! Thank you! :)

We haven't tried it with this recipe, but it should be ok for the most part. Though you will likely notice a change in the flavor and texture. If you give it a try, please share your results with us!
