I needed a dessert for a picnic over the weekend and this delicious Pink Lemonade Cake was the perfect fit. It was festive, cute, and yummy.
If you like sweet of cake and tangy of lemons, this will be right up your alley. I adapted the recipe below from Sugar Baby Aprons.
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.
1/2 cup white sugar
Combine the remaining thawed frozen lemonade and the white sugar.
Add Pink food coloring until you get your desired colored.
Drizzle over cooled cake.
This is a super yummy, summery, fun cake. We sure loved it…I hope you will too.

YUM!!! I’m going to try this but have to modify it by substituting egg beaters, applesauce and some FF yogurt to mix the cake and will probably have to skip the FANTASTIC looking frosting but it’s worth a try!

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!
Carrie says
The pink icing is just that…icing on the already delicious cake!! Thanks for kind comment!
Lady Vogue says
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.
