This is what I’ve been doing this morning. Strawberry cake with kicked up Lemon Icing. Taking to mom’s for a party the apartment complex is having this evening. Yep, that’s a pot for a plant – I don’t have a cake pedestal! 🙂
Strawberry Bundt Cake with Lemon Icing
Ingredients:
1 regular sized box of strawberry cake mix
1 three ounce package of strawberry Jello
3 T flour
½ C water
2/3 C Vegetable Oil
4 eggs
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 F
Grease your Bundt pan really well and dust with flour.
Mix all ingredients together until blended well
Pour into Bundt Pan
Bake for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Frosting:
1 can of pre-made Lemon frosting.
Yellow food coloring (optional)
After Cake comes out of oven, loosen sides and wait 10 minutes then put on wire rack to cool completely. Microwave frosting (after taking foil top off) for 10 seconds, drop in 5 drops of yellow food coloring, mix really well and pour over cake.
What are YOU doing this fine Saturday?
Go here for a GREAT Tailgating BLOG HOPE!!! http://gooseberrypatch.typepad.com/blog/2012/09/rru-tailgating.html
Yum! I love, love lemony desserts! I am also going to my parents house today, as my sisters, nieces, and nephew are all visiting from far away… Family fun time!
I’m secretly hoping they have green beans that I can pick so that I can come home and make dilly beans. Last year I made 21 pints
That sounds amazing! I love dilly green beans! Sounds divine! I creeped your blog yesterday for some ideas about banana extract – for you a liqour infusion – but I’m trying to make the other for some banana homemade ice cream. What do you think about a banana in some spiced rum? I was thinking it might really taste great.
I think bananas in spiced rum sounds great! Let me know how it turns out!
Thanks Alicia!
I’m packing for yet another trip, then driving for 4+ hours. Blaaah, haha.
This looks AMAZING. I already commented on facebook, but YUUUUUUM. Just yum.
Another trip??!?! Child, you have sand in your shoes! Can’t wait to see the pictures. And the ladies were thrilled to get the cake. I hope it makes it till tonight!
Mmmm strawberry, lemony, pot plant deliciousness 😉
Drooling over your photos!
Cheers

Thank you! I’m working hard on the photography!
The cake is beautiful and it’s such a good idea to put it on a flower pot – just right for the ladies.

Thank you! At least it was a blue one and not the terra cotta – that wouldn’t have matched at all!
I love the potted plant 🙂
Thanks! You have to have a lot of “things” if you are going to cook like a regular person! 🙂
Lemon and strawberries complement each other. Nice summer idea. A scoop of ice cream and yummm…..
Mom called last night and said they had cake, ice cream, and some kind of punch last night for the party. I think they got all sugared up and couldn’t go to sleep – I wonder how many of them will make it up for church this morning? 🙂
I love how you put the plate on a colorful pot. I think I will have to try that. Also that cake looks soooooooo amazing. 🙂
Thank you! The planter was an act of desperation – I’m going to have to get me one of those cake stands! 🙂
Sometimes desperation is the mother of invention. 🙂
Looks delicious Kelli! Love the lemon color icing! Did you see my post today, Hot Fudge Cake!!
