 Pink Lemonade Pound Cake


This Pink Lemonade Cake recipe is a very fun and refreshing treat, for those hot Summer days. In fact, it sounds so refreshingly yummy right now as we approach some 100+ degree weather! I find desserts like this also pair well with Mexican dishes such as this Mexican Chicken Casserole. My mom found and prepared this Pink Lemonade Pound Cake yesterday, inspired by Sugar Baby Aprons. While the cake was SO Tasty and my kids ate theirs all up (and not just the icing, like they often do), hers did not come out quite as pink as the original recipe. I have no idea how she got hers so pink! The color isn’t what really counts though, right?
