Summertime Pink Lemonade Cake

"This cake is good anytime...sometimes I make it just to brighten up a cloudy day!The cooking time includes the time it needs to set in the freezer. It isn't a "fast" recipe but it is yummy! Adjust water, oil and eggs based on the recipe on the back of your cake mix as some may vary. Preparation time includes baking and freezing time."

  1. This is a delicious and beautiful cake for a little girls summer birthday party. My Mom would decorate it with little plastic flying horses going around the outside in a circle and put three tall fire sparklers in the middle. It made you think of the 4th of July on a merry-go-round when she set it off. You can change this dramatically by using limeade for St. Patrick's day with green food coloring or orange juice for Halloween or a Harry Potter party with orange food coloring. I tried to post this but you have the exact recipe that I have. Right down to quickly stir in 1/3 etc. - bizarre! I wish I knew where we both got it from. It would be pretty made yellow for Easter with candies on top.
     
  2. This was really refreshing. It was a bit sour....which the kids really loved! I will definitely make it again!
