Strawberry Lemonade Cake

I consider myself a person with manners and try not make a fool of myself too often.  There are moments of weakness though and this Strawberry Lemonade Cake was one of them.  Once I had made it I wanted to face plant right on top of it!
It just looked so refreshing to me and I couldn’t stop thinking about it!  In fact, I had made it before church a couple of weeks ago and it was all I could think about during the service!  Bad, I know.

Amazing!!! This Strawberry Lemonade Cake would be perfect for any spring or summer party! | mynameissnickerdoodle.com

The star of this cake is definitely the whipped cream “frosting”.  It’s infused with strawberry lemonade mix and is completely irresistible!  Even my husband was hooked and I caught him sneaking some of the extra in the fridge.

This was a recipe that just came to me and evolved along the way in
making it.  I was drinking a glass of Strawberry Lemonade one day and
the thought came to me.  How could I turn this into a cake?  It’s no
invention of the light bulb, but man!  It sure is a super fabulous
dessert!
