Ingredients

Scale

Cake

  • 1 15.25 oz Lemon Cake Mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup frozen lemonade concentrate (thawed)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar

Frosting

  • 8 oz. cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup butter (softened)
  • 3 to 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp frozen lemonade concentrate (thawed)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) to prepare for baking the cake.
  2. Mix and Bake Cake: In a large bowl, combine the lemon cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs following the package instructions. Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan. Bake for 28 to 33 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool for 15 minutes.
  3. Apply Lemonade Soak: Using a fork, poke many holes evenly over the warm cake’s surface. Whisk together 1 cup of thawed frozen lemonade concentrate and 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the warm cake, allowing it to soak in while the cake cools to room temperature. Once cool, cover the cake and refrigerate for about 1 hour to chill and set.
  4. Prepare Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter together until light and fluffy. Gradually add 3 to 4 cups of powdered sugar, the 3 tablespoons of thawed lemonade concentrate, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
  5. Frost the Cake: Spread the prepared lemon frosting evenly over the chilled cake. Slice into pieces and serve chilled for best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • To ensure your cake is perfectly moist, make sure to poke many holes to let the lemonade mixture soak in fully.
  • You can adjust the amount of powdered sugar in the frosting to your preferred sweetness and consistency.
  • Keep the cake refrigerated until serving to maintain freshness and a firm frosting texture.
  • Use softened cream cheese and butter to avoid lumps in your frosting.
  • This cake is best served chilled and pairs wonderfully with a cup of tea or a light summer beverage.
