(well some how blogger just ate this picture and now it won't let me load it again.. UGH!!)
Remember the apron I got and the book I presented with it in my blog entry.. well I decided to make one of the bundt cakes. My kids bought me a bunt pan for Christmas about 3 years ago and I'm sad to say I had never used it. Yesterday I grabbed it.. dusted it off and decided to bake this..
This is a Lemonade Cake
I liked it. The first bite really HITS you with it's sweet and tartness but it does kind of leave you wanting a second piece!!

I can't believe how YELLOW the cake came out! WOW! the color was amazing!
Lemonade Cake
Serves 10-12
1 small box lemon-flavored gelatin
3/4 cup hot water
1 box (18-ounce) lemon cake mix
4 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1 (6-ounce) can frozen lemonade concentrate
1/2 cup sugar
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Prepare a 12-cup bundt pan using butter and flour or baker's Joy and set aside.
combine gelatin mix with water and set aside.
Thoroughly combine cake mix, eggs, and oil. Add the gelatin mixture and beat for 3 minutes.
Pour into the prepared pan.
Bake for 50-55 minutes or until a toothpick comes out of the cake clean.
Allow the cake to cool for 15 minutes in the pan.
Combine the lemonade concentrate with the sugar. After the cake has cooled 15 minutes, gently loosen it from the sides of the pan. Pour 2.8 of the lemonade mixture over the cake in the pan, allowing it to run down the sides. Wait 10 minutes and invert the cake onto a serving p latter. Pour the remaining lemonade mixture over the top of the cake.

I printed out the recipe, too. Sounds too good to pass up... like the book The Penny. Also on my list of books to read. Now... how can you now love ice cream?! My oldest doesn't care much for ice cream and I always wonder how that can be, being my child. I'd pass up steak for ice cream most days. But I only allow myself to buy it a very few days of the year... cuz I go nuts!
That cake looks fabulous! I still have yet to get a Bundt cake pan. Maybe my daughter will buy me one in a couple years!
