Strawberry Lemonade Cake

Dessert· Food

9 Jul

I really hate to admit this, but for the sake of you not feeling alone in your initial reaction to these pictures, I wanted to face plant into this cake, too!  And another thing I’m not so proud of either?  I made this cake before church and it was ALL I could think about during church.  I had to get back to this Strawberry Lemonade Cake that I’d created with just a few ingredients!      

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! 
 

Most of the flavor is in the flavored whipped cream.  Slightly tart, but refreshing at the same time.  Then the tartness is balanced out with the lemon cake and fresh strawberries.
