Strawberry Cake with Lemonade Frosting

When I first started thinking about what to make for my daughters birthday cake, I knew I wanted it to be something fun and fruity.  I also knew I wanted it to be 2 layers and look beautiful.  Once I decided on a theme for the party, the decision was simple.  I made this strawberry cake with lemonade frosting to go along with our strawberry lemonade theme, and I think it turned out perfect.

Really I kept going between a lemon cake with strawberry frosting or a strawberry cake with lemonade frosting.  I finally asked my mom what she would like and this was her decision.  She made a good choice!  The frosting on this cake could be eaten with a spoon, no need for cake!  It’s really good.  And the added lemon zest on the top, was a last minute decision that turned out to be just perfect!  And the addition of the fresh strawberries in a boxed strawberry cake mix made it taste from scratch.

It was the perfect centerpiece to our party table.  Plus being that I love more fruity flavors over chocolate, I really loved this cake.  And I wasn’t the only one!  Which is always a plus. 😉

What is your favorite flavor for cake?

Happy Baking!
