I Decided To Cut Back On Sweets ...

(c) SugarBabyAprons.com, 2012.




I decided to cut back on sweets in 2012, so ...

I'm making 6 of these today.

For reals.

So why on earth am I making SIX of these bundts?

Because I'm teaching a breadmaking class for kiddos today (ages 7-12)--and this is one of the "sweet breads" we're teaching them to make: Pink Lemonade Cake

Is that too CUTE? (Yes.)

I'll be sure to post photos after the class today.

In the meantime, if you'd like to make this cake yourself, here's the recipe. I actually found it on Pinterest.com, but later found the original at SugarBabyAprons.com. (PS: I don't have any sponsors on my site, so I don't know SugarBabyAprons or have any affiliation with them. I just want to give credit for the cake recipe where credit for the cake recipe is due.)

Have a beautiful Friday. And remember,






Pink Lemonade Pound Cake
1 (18.25 ounce) package lemon cake mix
1 (3 ounce) package instant lemon pudding mix
4 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup pink lemonade concentrate
4 drops pink or red food color, optional

Glaze:1 cup frozen pink lemonade concentrate, thawed
1/2 cup white sugar


Recipe

1) Preheat oven to 350. Grease and flour one 10-inch tube pan or
bundt pan.

2) Combine the cake mix, lemon pudding mix, eggs, vegetable oil, 1/2
cup lemon concentrate and the milk. Mix until smooth. Pour the batter
into the prepared pan.

3) Bake at 350 for 50 minutes to 1 hour. If your oven runs hot be
sure to adjust accordingly!Remove from oven and prick cake all over with a fork. Immediately
pour lemonade glaze over top of cake.

Let cake stand in pan until almost cool.

REVISED 1/21

LEMONADE GLAZE:




  • 4-6 tablespoons milk
  • Remaining pink lemonade concentrate
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 2-¼ cups Powdered Sugar


    • NOTE: You can kind of "play" with the amount of powdered sugar and pink lemonade amounts. If you like a thicker glaze/heavier, add MORE than 2+ cups powdered sugar. If you like it really TART, then add more pink lemonade extract. (The pink lemonade makes it really bubblegum pink in color. We LOVED that.)

    When The Flu Comes To Town ...

    Image
    Even Harriet-the-dog threw up this weekend. What the what? Well, if there's anything positive about having the flu, it's having it over a weekend--so you can truly REST from your work/school/etc. Right? Uh, sure. Poor Bam, Dave, Zu and even Harriet-the-dog each caught a weird cold/flu-type thing that had them "down for the count" this weekend. It was awful. I was teasing Dave, but I'm not sure if it's worse to be the one with the flu--or the mom to the ones with the flu. Eeek! (We're talking a lot of laundry and disinfectant. If you're picking up what I'm layin' down.) Hopefully they will be on the mend here soon. And hopefully, the remaining non-flu family members have used enough Purell to keep us germ-free. Crossing my fingers. Hope your weekend was 'smarvelous. ***** PS: Booo. BYU lost this weekend. (Yay if you are a Ute fan--Liz B.) PPS: Not that it's a big deal in the Big Picture, but I did deactivate ...
