Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Unsalted butter, softened
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 0.5 cup Lemonade concentrate (thawed)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon zest
• 2 cups Powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter and granulated sugar together using a hand or stand mixer on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.

Step 5

Reduce the mixer speed to low. Gradually add the dry ingredients mixture in three additions, alternating with the milk and lemonade concentrate. Begin and end with the dry ingredients. Do not overmix.

Step 6

Stir in the lemon zest by hand until evenly distributed in the batter.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 28-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the cakes from the oven and allow them to cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

To make the glaze, whisk together the powdered sugar, lemon juice, and water in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.

Step 11

Once the cakes are completely cool, drizzle the lemon glaze evenly over the top of each layer. Allow the glaze to set for 15 minutes.

Step 12

If desired, stack the cakes to create a layered cake or serve as two single-layer cakes. Garnish with lemon slices or additional lemon zest for a decorative touch.

Step 13

Serve and enjoy your Lemonade Cake 3!
