How to Make Strawberry Lemonade Cake:
- Prepare the Cake Batter:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the strawberry cake mix, water, vegetable oil, and eggs. Mix until smooth. - Add Lemon and Strawberry Flavors:
Add the lemon juice and strawberry puree to the batter, and mix gently to incorporate. The strawberry puree gives the cake a natural, fruity flavor that pairs perfectly with the lemonade tang. - Bake the Cake:
Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans, then evenly divide the cake batter between the pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cakes cool completely before frosting. - Make the Frosting:
In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gradually add powdered sugar and lemon zest, and continue to mix until fluffy and smooth. - Assemble the Cake:
Once the cakes have cooled, place the first layer on a serving plate. Spread a layer of strawberry lemonade frosting over the top. Place the second cake layer on top, and spread frosting over the entire cake. - Garnish & Serve:
Garnish the top with fresh strawberries for a vibrant, fruity touch. Serve immediately and enjoy this perfect summer treat!
