Lemonade Cake

I've made this cake twice now and it has been a hit both times.  It's just so refreshing!  I recommend icing with a lemon buttercream icing (just replace the vanilla with lemon extract).

Ingredients
  • 1 cup butter (soft)
  • 4 eggs (room temp)
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 1/3 cups milk
  • 1/3 cup frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
  • 1 tsp pure lemon extract
Directions
  • Grease two 9 x 2 inch round pans.  Line bottoms with parchment paper; grease paper.  Flour pans, tapping out excess.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, and salt.  Set aside
  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar til fluffy (approx 2 min).  Add eggs one at a time.
  • In large measuring cup, combine milk, concentrate, and extract.  Mixture will look curdled.
  • Alternately add flour and liquid mixture to butter mixture on low til just combined. Make sure to add flour last.
  • Pour into pans and bake for 35 min.
  • Let cakes sit for 5 min, turn out of pans, and then wrap in plastic wrap and place in fridge to cool.
