Ingredients

  • 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

  • 3 to 4 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.

Notes

  • Make in a bundt pan for elegant presentation (add soak after removing from pan).
  • Use vanilla or white cake mix for milder lemon flavor.
  • Top with fresh berries for extra color and flavor.
  • Add lemon zest to frosting for more zing.
  • Store in fridge up to 4 days; best served chilled.
