Introduction:
With the summer approaching and temperatures soaring, nothing beats a slice of cake that captures the essence of this season. The Strawberry Lemonade Cake, from The Cake Book, is a delicious fusion of sweet strawberries and tangy lemon that will tantalize the taste buds on the hottest days.
The Strawberry Lemonade Cake was an easy choice for the Cake Slice Bakers group this month. With temperatures already in the 90s, it was no surprise that the cake would be a hit. It may look like a simple sheet with frosting but don’t let that fool you. This cake requires time and attention.
Every step of this process is a labor of Love. From zesting and pressing lemons to separating the eggs and whipping a marshmallow frosting up, each step of the way is a labour of love. The end result will be worth it.
Imagine a cake infused with lemon, studded with strawberries and drizzled with a lemony syrup. Then, top it off with fluffy pink marshmallow frosting. Each bite is a symphony that will dance on your tongue.
My first attempt to make marshmallow frosting did not go as planned. My frosting was more melty than fluff despite following the directions to the letter. You know what, though? But you know what?
A Slice of Sunshine – After refrigerating the cake overnight, I cut into it and was greeted with a burst of delicious lemony goodness. The flavors were melded beautifully with the strawberries adding color and sweetness.
Conclusion:
If your willing to spend the time, effort and don’t mind having a marshmallow stuck in your hair then this Strawberry Lemonade Cake will be the perfect dessert at your summer celebrations. Treat yourself to some sunshine and whip up a few batches. You won’t regret it.
