Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9-by 13-inch baking dish.
- Add the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer and mix on low speed to combine.
- Next, slowly add in the butter slices and allow to mix until the flour resembles coarse crumbs.
- While the butter mixes, in a separate bowl whisk together the eggs, pink lemonade, milk, lemon extract and vanilla extract.
- With the mixer still on low speed, add the egg mixture in three batches, allowing the liquid to combine into the dry ingredients until fully incorporated. If desired, stir in a few drops of pink or red food coloring to create a light pink color.

- For the frosting: Combine the butter and salt in the stand mixer on low speed. Slowly add the confectioners' sugar in small amounts until all is added, and then turn the speed to medium-high to combine. Add the pink lemonade concentrate and lemon extract and mix until fluffy. Add in the food coloring at this point if desired.
- Once the cake is fully cooled, ice with the frosting and decorate with lemon slices and straws, if desired.

PINK LEMONADE LAYER CAKE
A refreshing tart and sweet cake. Recipe originally came from The Deen Brothers "Ya'll Come Eat" cookbook. I have changed it up slightly to suit my tastes. The directions said to follow the cake box recipe and gave the amounts for the eggs and oil but nothing said about water. My cake box said to add 1 cup water so if yours says to use less than use less. I also used more drink powder in cake mix and more concentrate in the frosting. I also added a few drops of pink food coloring to make the frosting really look like pink lemonade. Cheater tip: I have been using a 9x13 baking pan lately so I don't have to frost layers for time sake. Also, I have been using a can of vanilla pre mixed frosting and adding the lemon zest and lemonade powder to it. So much easier and tastes just as good.

Tips:
- To achieve the perfect pink color for the cake, use a combination of red and yellow food coloring. Start with a small amount of each color and gradually add more until you reach the desired shade.
- For a more intense lemonade flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice in the cake batter and frosting. You can also add a tablespoon of lemon zest to the batter for an extra burst of citrus flavor.
- If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Be sure to chill the cake batter for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cake rise evenly and prevent it from becoming too dense.
- To make sure the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
- For a smooth and creamy frosting, beat the butter and cream cheese together until light and fluffy. Then, gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract until the frosting reaches the desired consistency.
Conclusion:
The Pink Lemonade Stand Cake is a delicious and refreshing summer treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist, flavorful, and has a beautiful pink color. The lemonade frosting is the perfect complement to the cake, adding a bright and tangy flavor. Whether you are serving it at a party or enjoying it as a special treat, this cake is sure to be a hit.
