How to Make Lemonade Party Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare Betty Crocker Super Moist Lemon Cake mix according to package directions for a 13x9 inch pan.
  3. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup lemonade concentrate and 1/2 cup powdered sugar until smooth. Add more powdered sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed to reach desired consistency.
  5. Gently poke the warm cake all over with a long fork, about 1/2 inch apart. Wipe the fork occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Slowly drizzle the lemonade mixture evenly over the poked cake, allowing it to soak in.
  7. Run a knife or spatula around the edges of the pan to loosen the cake.
  8. Cover the cake and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely chilled.
  9. While the cake chills, prepare the frosting: Combine 1 (16 ounce) can of regular frosting with 8 ounces of Cool Whip until smooth and creamy.
  10. Spread the frosting evenly over the chilled cake.
  11. Sprinkle with colored sugar (optional).
