Lemonade Cake Recipe

If you're looking for a treat that’s bright, tangy, and just the right touch of sweetness, this Lemonade Cake is the perfect choice for when life hands you lemons (or lemonade!). It’s light, fluffy, and infused with citrus goodness—ideal for tea time, birthdays, or even when you just want to feel a bit fancy on a Tuesday.

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup lemonade (fresh or store-bought—no judgment!)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for that final snow-dusted moment)

Directions

1. Get that oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) and give your cake pan a good greasing and flouring, like it’s about to step into the spotlight.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until they’re light, fluffy, and practically best friends.
3. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking with enthusiasm after each addition.
4. Now, stir in the lemonade and vanilla—can you smell that heavenly aroma already?
5. In another bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
6. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ones, just until they’re all cozy together (no overmixing allowed!).
7. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth the top like you’re frosting a cake.
8. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean and your kitchen is filled with a delightful scent.
9. Let it sit in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Once it’s cool, dust it with powdered sugar like it’s a summer snow day!
