The other day my mom came over for dinner and brought me cake. That’s love. It was really good. So as always my next question was, “what’s the recipe?” Mom said it was on her Pinterest board. I clicked over found it and I’m sharing it you all of you for some yummy summer dessert action.
Lemonade Layer Cake

Cook time:
Total time:
Serves: 8
Ingredients
Cake:
- 1⅓ cups sugar
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 3 tablespoons thawed lemonade concentrate
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 eggs
- 2 egg whites
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1¼ cups fat-free buttermilk {or regular, I won’t judge you}
- Cooking spray
Frosting:
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 2 teaspoon thawed lemonade concentrate
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 3½ cups powdered sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cake:
- In a large bowl mix together sugar, butter, lemon zest, lemonade, and vanilla on medium speed until combined, about 5 minutes. Add eggs and egg whites, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- In a medium bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda. Add flour mixture and buttermilk alternately to sugar mixture, beginning and ending with flour mixture; beat well after each addition.
- Pour batter into 2 – 9″ round cake pans coated with cooking spray; tap pans once each to remove air bubbles. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool cake in pans for 10 minutes on a wire rack; remove from pans. Cool completely on wire rack.
Frosting:
- Place 2 tablespoons butter, lemon zest, lemonade, vanilla, and cream cheese in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at high speed until fluffy. Add powdered sugar, and beat at low speed just until blended. Do NOT overbeat. Chill 1 hour.
- Place 1 cake layer on a plate; spread with ½ cup frosting. Top with remaining cake layer. Spread remaining frosting over top and sides of cake. Store cake loosely covered in the fridge.
That cake looks (and sounds) delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe
