Pink Lemonade Pound Cake
1 package lemon cake mix
1 (3 ounce) package instant lemon pudding mix ( I used cook and serve because that’s what I had…worked fine)
4 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup frozen pink lemonade concentrate
4 drops pink or red food color, optional (I had to use way more coloring…like 20 drops to get the nice pink color)

1) Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour one 10-inch tube pan or
bundt pan.

2) Combine the cake mix, lemon pudding mix, eggs, vegetable oil, 1/2
cup lemon concentrate and the milk. Mix until smooth. Pour the batter
into the prepared pan.

3) Bake at 350 for 50 minutes to 1 hour.

Remove from oven and prick cake all over with a fork. Immediately
pour lemonade glaze over top of cake.

    Saw you on Weekend Potluck and while I was visiting your site – was mesmerized by the beautiful Pink Icing in the right sidebar. I clicked on the recipe and knew this was the cake for me to make! This just looks fantastic!

    Made the Pink Lemonade Cake. It is delecious. You stated you added at least 20 drops of red food color; so did I. The resulting color is more orange than pink. Then I had a “eureka” moment. Instead of yellow cake mix, use white because yellow and red make ORANGE; white and red make PINK! The lemon pudding mix and frozen pink lemonade are enough lemon flavor. The icing, of course is pink because you use powdered sugar and red food coloring.
