This Super Easy Lemonade Cake Recipe is bursting with that sweet and tart lemonade flavor in a slice-able cake!
Super Easy Lemonade Cake Recipe uses frozen lemonade concentrate to infuse that bright lemony flavor into each bite!
It’s no secret that I love all things LEMON! I took that obsession one step further with this soft and fluffy, yet super moist Lemonade Cake.
School just got out for my kids on Wednesday and it’s amazing how you can go from 100mph on the last day of school, to totally chill and relaxing the next day. I’m absolutely loving it. Instead of making a lemonade stand this summer with my kids, I’m planning on making this super easy Lemonade Cake all the days.
Super Easy Lemonade Cake Recipe
- The first thing you want to do is bake up a lemon cake mix, just like the directions state on the box.
Once the cake is done baking, and before it’s cooled, you’ll poke holes all over the cake with fork. Then you’ll whisk up some lemonade concentrate with a little powdered sugar and pour it all over the top.
While the cake is still warm it will easily absorb all that lemony goodness. Let it come to room temperature and then chill it until it’s nice and cold.
Can You Make This A Bundt Cake Recipe?
You can definitely bake this cake in a bundt cake pan or even two 8″ or 9″ round layer cakes. Just make sure to remove the cake from the pan before poking holes in it and letting the lemonade concentrate soak in, then chill until cold.
Lemonade Buttercream Frosting
The frosting has a cream cheese and butter base, which is super smooth and creamy. It’s sweetened with extra lemonade extract and powdered sugar, so it’s a breeze to make!
Spread the frosting over the cool cake, slice and enjoy!
Can I Make This Cake Ahead of Time?
Yes! You can definitely bake and frost this cake ahead of time. I think the cake tastes amazing when it’s been chilled for a while, and with a cream cheese frosting you’ll want to store the cake covered in the refrigerator. You can bake up to 3 days ahead of time.
This cake is cool and refreshing, with that delicious lemony flavor. You’re going to really enjoy this one!
