Lemonade Cake

I can't tell you the last time I bought a drink mix at the grocery store. Concentrated, powder, or bottled drinks haven't been on my grocery list for YEARS. Not kidding, my son won't drink juice because I just don't buy it and I gave up soda 6 years ago.

 Well....guess what was in my buggy last weekend? Frozen lemonade.

This cake is very light and has a nice thin layer of frosting. I'm not a 5 mile thick icing kinda gal. My teeth hurt just thinking about it. (Ahem, Wal-Mart cake.)

This is a perfect cake for a backyard barbecue or pool party. Fresh and lemony with just the right amount of tartness and sweetness. Enjoy!

Angel Food Cupcakes

Let's make cupcakes! Ok! Lent really put a dent (I'm a poet and wasn't aware of it) in my creation of delicious sweets. Angel Food Cake is by far on of my favorite cakes, but I always seem to forget about it. Usually around this time of year, it starts showing up around the grocery store bakery and I say (out loud, to no one), "Oh yeah!! Angel Food Cake!!!"

This was my first time making a homemade Angel Food Cake mix. With the lack of butter or oil, I convinced myself that Tony Horton would be ok with me having three one. So I did. Yum. I'm not a big frosting gal, unless its contains 6 blocks of cream cheese, so I topped these with fresh whipped cream (1 pint heavy whipping cream, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla in the mixer until "whipped") and fresh berries. This combination just screams Summer, and seeing as it was 92 degrees here yesterday, go ahead and whip up a batch.
