The ricotta cheese in the mix makes these muffins especially moist. Ingredients:
1 (18 1/4 ounce) package lemon cake mix |
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package vanilla instant pudding mix (4-serving size) |
4 eggs |
1 cup ricotta cheese |
1/3 cup vegetable oil |
1/4 cup poppy seed |
2 teaspoons lemon zest, grated |
1/4 cup sugar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350*.
2. Prepare muffin tins: grease or paper line one 12-cup and one 6-cup tin.
3. Combine cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, ricotta, oil, poppy seeds and lemon zest in a large mixing bowl.
4. Beat on medium speed with electric mixer for 2 minutes.
5. Spoon batter into prepared muffin tins.
6. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until tops spring back when touched lightly.
7. Sprinkle tops with sugar, if desired.
8. Note: For a variation, you may omit the poppy seeds, and substitute with 1 cup chopped almonds. You may also use an equal amount of yogurt as a substitute for the ricotta cheese.
