This is the frosting that goes along with the Lemonade layer cake.
Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons softened butter2 Teaspoons grated lemon rind
3 Teaspoons thawed lemonade concentrate
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 ounces cream cheese (1/3 less fat cream cheese is what I used)
3 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1/2 lemon (optional)
Instructions
1. Place butter, lemon rind, concentrate, vanilla extract, and cream cheese in a large bowl and beat at high speed until the mixture is fluffy. **Use the remaining half of the lemon and squeeze the juice into the frosting mixture if you want to add more of the lemon taste to your frosting.2. Add the powdered sugar and beat on a low speed until blended, be careful not to over beat the mixture.
3. Chill 1 hour. I waited until my cake was completely cool before I made the frosting. Once it was done I just frosted my cakes and if it seemed like it needed a bit of time I put it in the fridge.
To frost the cake:
spread some of the frosting on top of one of the cake rounds. Put the other cake round on top and finish frosting the top and sides of the cake. Store cake loosely covered in the fridge.
