My Mom's Lemon Cupcakes
1 Yello Cake Mix
4 eggs
3/4 c. water
1 (3 oz.) package of Lemon Jello
3/4 c. vegetable oil
Mix all ingredients together. Follow directions on cake mix box for oven temperature and bake time. I threw out my box accidentally. I set my oven for 350 degrees and baked my cupcakes for about 18 minutes.
Frosting (make while cupcakes are baking)
1 1/2 c. powdered sugar
2 tbs. melted butter
juice from 2 lemons to thin frosting down
Mix butter and sugar together first. Add lemon juice a little at a time to thin down mixture. It should have a nice pouring consistency and be on the tart side. Make sure your frosting is nice and smooth or you will end up with powdered sugar lumps on top of your cupcakes. Just look at my picture above. It doesn't taste bad but might look a little prettier without the white lumps. :)
When cupcakes are removed from the oven and still hot, take a fork and poke holes into cupcakes. You will pour the frosting into these holes. I poked and poured at the same time so I could use the fork to hold open my holes a bit. If you have icing left over, feel free to pour directly on top.

I've got to try these today - what a yummy idea to use the jello - they must be soooo moist!
Great idea to have your hubby bring down the laundry! It probably doesn't seem like a big deal to him - but it will be a HUGE help to you!!
