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.

Strawberry Pizzelles

Pizzelles are one of my favorite childhood cookies and I'm constantly looking for ways to put a new spin on them.  Since one of my favorite summer fruits is strawberries, I swapped out the vanilla in the original recipe with strawberry extract. 

Easy Stuffed Waffles with Sweet and Savory Fillings

Stuffed waffles are a fun twist on the classic waffle—crispy on the outside and packed with tasty fillings inside. I recently got a stuffed waffle maker, and I’m loving how it turns waffles into little pockets of deliciousness! The best part? You don’t need a strict recipe because this is a perfect “clean out the fridge” meal. Grab whatever leftovers or fillings you have on hand, stuff ’em inside, and waffle away! Here’s what I tried this time, but feel free to get creative and make it your own.
