When life hands you lemons, make lemonade cake! This moist lemon cake will remind you of summer any time of year. The easy poke technique ensures the cake is infused with bright citrus flavor all the way through and the fluffy frosting gives it a sweet finish. Mix it up in just 20 minutes, with your box of Betty Crocker lemon or yellow cake mix, and then let it chill in the fridge until it’s time for dessert.

Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Make cake as directed on box for 13x9-inch pan. Cool 15 minutes.
  • 2
    Mix lemonade concentrate and powdered sugar. Pierce top of warm cake every 1/2 inch with long-tined fork, wiping fork occasionally to reduce sticking. Drizzle lemonade mixture evenly over top of cake. Run knife around sides of pan to loosen cake. Cover and refrigerate about 2 hours or until chilled.

    Spread frosting over top of cake. Sprinkle with colored sugar. Store covered in refrigerator.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you can’t get enough lemon, skip the colored sugar and try garnishing with a mixture of lemon zest and granulated sugar. Sprinkle evenly over the top for a sparkly look with a citrusy zing.
