Pink Lemonade Cake

https://equinlab.com/2024/01/18/0shxeov What’s so special about pink lemonade?

https://therepairstore.ca/btovehe9 What so special about pink lemonade? Well, it most certain isn’t made from pink lemons. I’ve never seen one. Have you? But you have to admit that an ice filled glass of the pink liquid seems a little more special than the yellow variety.

https://gungrove.com/ir881j79 If you were making homemade pink lemonade you might crush (and strain) some raspberries, cranberries or strawberries and add just enough of the juice to give you the light pink color you want in a glass of pink lemonade.

https://www.prehistoricsoul.com/v11vizp9q9 Pink is a relaxing color. Studies have shown that people associate the color pink with sweetness.  Maybe that’s why when I had a daughter (after two sons) I dressed her in a lot of pink; just because she was so sweet I’m sure.

There actually are pink lemons and they are grown in southern California. If I ever see them, I will definitely be buying some. The pink in this Minute Maid pink lemonade comes from grapes; I’m thinking maybe from the grape skins since that is where wine gets it color.

The reason I wanted to try to make a pink lemonade cake is that when we were first married either Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines made a pink lemonade cake mix and I use to buy it and thought the cake looked so special.

Back then I tried multiple times to made the kind of lemon meringue pie my husband liked; and I remember once making a peach cake, from scratch and it split in half before I could even frost it. So what did I do? Well, I crumbled it up and make a cream and with some more fresh peaches turned it into a trifle.
