Lemonade Cake

So this lovely photo has been floating around Pinterest and Google Images. . .

 

and after finding the recipe involved a lot more time than I had,

I went here

and then adapted it {Hayley-style}

until we came up with this:

Oh, my, delish.

My cakes never turn out, so I gotta admit I was really excited.

Lemonade Cake

1 box white cake mix

3 egg whites

just over 1/3 cup oil

1/2 cup lemonade drink mix (I used Countrytime)

1/2 cup water

1 cup sour cream

2 t. vanilla

grated lemon zest

Mix together, pour into greased and sugared bundt / tub pan.  Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.  Cool on wire rack and turn out onto cake plate.  Cool for about 15-20 minutes and then frost while still slightly warm.

Frosting:

1/2 can cream cheese frosting

grated lemon zest

Stir lemon zest into frosting.  Using a spoon, frost only the top. The frosting will drizzle down the sides on it's own.

Top with more lemon zest.

We filled the center with blueberries . . .  Super yum!
