This Super Easy Lemonade Cake is a bright, refreshing, and ultra-moist summer dessert made with lemon cake mix and lemonade concentrate. Topped with creamy lemonade frosting, it’s perfect for potlucks, BBQs, birthdays, and more. A quick, crowd-pleasing citrus cake you’ll make again and again!

Ingredients

  • 1 box (15.25 oz) lemon cake mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • For the Frosting:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 3 to 4 cups powdered sugar
  • 3 tbsp frozen lemonade concentrate, thawed
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 9×13″ baking pan.
  2. Prepare cake batter by mixing cake mix, water, oil, and eggs. Pour into the pan and bake for 28–33 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  3. While the cake is warm, poke holes all over with a fork.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together lemonade concentrate and powdered sugar. Pour over warm cake, letting it soak in fully.
  5. Let the cake cool to room temp, then chill for at least 1 hour.
  6. For the frosting: Beat cream cheese and butter until fluffy. Add powdered sugar, lemonade concentrate, and salt. Beat until smooth and spreadable.
  7. Frost chilled cake. Slice and serve cold.

Notes

  • Use a bundt pan for a classic ring shape—just pour glaze after removing the cake.
  • Add berries on top or in frosting for a fruity twist.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze slices individually for a ready-made treat.
  • For a vanilla-lemon version, use vanilla cake mix instead.
