Luscious Lemonade Cake with Lemonade Butter Cream Frosting
My Luscious Lemonade Cake is perfect for your Labor Day BBQ this weekend. The lemonade butter cream makes it extra special. I used Country Time powder but you can use any brand.
Have you ever made a dessert that everyone loved and was an instant hit? Well if you make this cake I am sure it will be a new family favorite. How can you go wrong with the great taste of lemonade in a cake? I served it this past Sunday at our family dinner and there wasn’t a crumb left over. Even my son who isn’t a big lemon fan loves it. It’s super simple to make and looks so beautiful.
If you try it, be sure to let me know how you like it.
Enjoy!
