Strawberry Lemon Blossoms

Strawberry lemon cakes piled on a blue platter

My cake mix and Jello addictions are well documented.   I just can't resist a new fun flavor.   As a result, my pantry runneth over and I've been trying to clear them out.   I normally don't bake much when it's hot, but today I decided to crank the AC and churn out some goodies.


I saved this recipe when I realized that I'd accumulated 4 strawberry cake mixes. The only change I made was to only dunk the tops, not the entire thing.   My son was eyeing them before the glaze was even set.    It makes a boatload, I got over 5 dozen using a Pampered Chef mini muffin pan and a 1 teaspoon cookie scoop.    I'm going to try freezing half the batch and see how they defrost, if they last that long. Thank you to Jaren and Julie for sharing the recipe!

Ingredients

  • 1 box strawberry cake mix (used 18.25 Duncan Hines)
  • 1 3.5 oz instant lemon pudding mix
  • 4 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil
Glaze:
  • 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3 tbsp water

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray mini muffin tins with nonstick spray. Set a cooling rack over a half sheet pan (line the pan with foil or parchment for easier clean up).
  2. Beat together cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, and oil with an electric mixer for about 2 minutes. Use 1 teaspoon cookie scoop to fill the muffin tins. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
  3. Make the glaze- whisk together sifted powdered sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, vegetable oil and water.
  4. Let the blossoms cool slightly, 1 to 2 minutes, then turn out of muffin tin onto a tea towel. Dunk each one into glaze and place on baking rack to set.

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home. 

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband.
