Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F
- Prepare a 13x9 baking pan with light coating of cooking spray or oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the cake mix and pudding together.
- Beat in the eggs, water and oil and combine well.
- Pour the batter into the lightly greased baking pan.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and place on wire rack
- Cool for 15 minutes
- In a small bowl, whisk together lemonade concentrate and powdered sugar until smooth
- Using a wooden skewer or large fork, poke holes into cake about every ½ inch
- Pour lemonade mixture over cake
- Cover and place in refrigerator for at least 1 hour
Make the Frosting
- In a mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients and mix until fluffy. (I would start with 1 cup of powdered sugar but you may need to add more depending on how thick you want the frosting.)
- Spread the icing over the entire cake.
- Place in the refrigerator and store until ready to serve.
- Store any leftovers covered in refrigerator.
Notes
- For a lower calorie option, substitute ½ cup of unsweetened applesauce in place of the vegetable oil.
- Make this cake in a bundt pan or in 8 or 9 inch round cake pans too. (remove from pans before poking to keep losing the glaze.
