Description

Laced with poppy seeds and drenched in lemonade—it’s delicious!

Ingredients

  • 1 can (small 6 Oz. Can) Frozen Lemonade Concentrate
  • 1 box (18.25 Oz. Box) Yellow Butter Cake Mix
  • 1 box (small 3.4 Oz. Box) INSTANT Vanilla Pudding Mix
  • 4 whole Eggs (large)
  • ½ cups Canola Oil
  • 1 cup Water
  • 2 Tablespoons Lemon Juice (fresh Squeezed!)
  • 3 Tablespoons Poppy Seeds
  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two medium loaf pans or one 13x9x2 baking pan. If you use the 13x9x2, reduce baking time accordingly.

Set aside the can of frozen lemonade concentrate and allow it to thaw for a glaze while you’re making the cake.

Mix all the other ingredients and pour into the prepared pan. Tap the pan on the counter 3-4 times to remove air pockets. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer comes out clean.

Remove from the oven, and while it’s still hot, use your skewer to poke holes all over the top of the cake. Immediately pour half of the thawed can of frozen lemonade concentrate over the cake and allow it to soak in. Use the rest of the lemonade mix to make a cold glass for the cook. Cool the cake for at least one hour. Store in the refrigerator, tightly covered. Freezes well, too!

I made this cake today for a family luncheon and it was VERY VERY good. It was just sweet enough without being too sweet and it wasn’t too tart from the lemonade. Everyone had seconds including the little kids and the older folks. Really good cake for a warm day.

This recipe is incredible! Beware: It’s addicting and an entire loaf can be cleared out of a Teacher’s Lounge in under an hour! Everyone who tries this asks for the recipe! It’s easy to make and a BIG hit!! YUM!
