simplified lemonade cake
Although I love the recipe I got from a relative for a "from scratch" lemonade cake, I don't always have the time or patience. This is just as yummy, very lemony and takes much less effort to put out. Perfect for lemon lovers!

How To Make simplified lemonade cake
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 10 inch bunt/tube pan.
-
Step 2Cake: Dissolve the lemon jello in boiling water and put aside. DO NOT allow to set. Combine cake mix, vegetable oil and eggs. Beat until combined and add the liquid jello. Beat for 5 minutes on medium speed setting. Pour batter into a prepared bunt pan and bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour. Cool completely before removing from pan.
-
Step 3Frosting: In a large bowl, beat butter, lemon, lemonade concentrate, vanilla and cream cheese on high speed until fluffy. Add powdered sugar and beat at low speed until blended. Chill 1 hour before icing cake.
-
Step 4Sometimes instead of using the icing on the cake I dust it with powdered sugar instead.
