Spoiled...Again!


Last Monday I was treated to another shower by my girls at my work. It was absolutely delightful-wonderful company, lovely gifts for Katie and too die for Pink Lemonade cake! A warm-hearted thank you to the ladies at the District Office for absolutely spoiling me! Katie will be the best dressed lil' princess ever!!

The amazing dessert recipe..
PINK LEMONADE CAKE

1 Package 2 layer yellow or white cake mix
1 6 oz can frozen pink lemonade, thawed and divided
1 qt. vanilla ice cream
1 pint whipping cream
8 or 10 drops of red food coloring

Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Bake in two 9” pans; cool.
Meanwhile stir ice cream to soften, quickly stir 1/3 cup of the lemonade and 5 to 6 drops food coloring. Spread evenly in a foil lined 9” round pan. Freeze 2 or 3 hours or until firm.
Frosting:
2 cups whipping cream whipped with 2 - 4 Tablespoons of sugar and ¼ cup of the pink lemonade (and 3 to 4 drops of red food coloring) – whipped to spreadable frosting consistency (stiff and firm is best to use as a cake frosting)
Place one cake layer on serving plate, top with frozen ice cream layer; then remaining cake layer. Frost with whipped cream and return to freezer for at least one hour. Enjoy!
