Pink Lemonade Cake

Description
This is a truly girly dessert. However, I adapted this from a Deen Brothers recipe. Go figure. And, I made this cake for my friend Jo Ann’s baby shower and her husband demolished the leftovers. What can I say? He is secure enough in his masculinity to indulge in this fluffy pink cake’s awesomeness. That, and he is surrounded by girls and he has learned to not be picky about the color of cake. Cake is cake.
Ingredients
- 1 box White Cake Mix (18 Ounce Box)
- 4 Tablespoons Pink Lemonade Powder
- 3 whole Eggs
- ⅓ cups Vegetable Oil
- 1 cup Water
- 1 whole Lemon, Zested
- 4 drops Red Food Coloring
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat inside of two 9″ round cake pans with butter and line the bottoms of the pans with parchment paper. (For 10″ to 12″ cakes, double the recipe.)
In a large mixing bowl combine the cake mix and dry pink lemonade powder. Mix well. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well until blended. Pour batter into prepared pans and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center of each cake comes out clean (you know the drill). Let cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes. After that 10 minutes (I said 10 minutes, NOT 11 or 12), flip the cakes onto wire racks and let cool completely.
Frost cakes (*) once they have totally cooled. Totally. You ever try to frost a still-warm two layer cake with cream cheese frosting? Not pretty. Trust me, I speak from my own bumbling experience. Ya can’t hurry a cooling cake.
* Note: Please refer to my Pink Lemonade Frosting recipe (in my TastyKitchen recipe box) for the perfect topping for this cake.

I tried the cake this past weekend and also used the frosting recipe. The frosting was good, although I had to add more shortening to it. The cake however, turned out to be very dense. I’ve never had a cake turn out like this before. I have a similar recipe using lemon cake mix, a box of lemon jello, 4 eggs and more oil used in this recipe and it turns out fine. I’m not sure what went wrong with the recipe. Anyone else had a similar problem?

I have been looking for a lemonade cake. Can’t wait to try this and your frosting! (I may even add some raspberries for a little twist!)
Thanks!
