Ingredients
Cake
- 1 (15.25 oz) Lemon Cake Mix
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Frosting
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3 to 4 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s at the right temperature when your batter is ready.
- Prepare Cake Batter and Bake: Combine the lemon cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs according to the package directions. Pour the batter into a greased 9×13-inch baking pan. Bake for 28 to 33 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 15 minutes.
- Soak Cake: Poke multiple holes all over the warm cake using a fork. Whisk together 1 cup thawed lemonade concentrate and 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in as the cake cools to room temperature. Once cooled, cover the cake and refrigerate for about 1 hour to chill and set.
- Prepare Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until light and fluffy. Gradually add 3 to 4 cups powdered sugar, along with 3 tablespoons thawed lemonade concentrate and a pinch of salt. Continue mixing until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
- Frost the Cake: Spread the lemonade frosting evenly over the chilled cake. Slice into servings and enjoy this delicious, refreshing dessert!
Notes
- Make sure the lemonade concentrate is fully thawed before using to blend smoothly with sugar and frosting.
- Adjust the powdered sugar quantity in the frosting to reach your desired sweetness and consistency.
- For an extra lemony touch, zest fresh lemon peel into the frosting.
- Store leftover cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
- You can use fresh lemonade as a substitute but the concentrate gives a more intense lemon flavor.
