this is the first cake i ever made for cam. it was for his birthday 5 years ago and i have been making it ever since. i love it because it is so simple to make and it is perfect for spring time. the cake part it is actually just from a box, i use a lemon flavored one then just add a squeeze of lemon and a bit of zest to give it a little kick. the frosting however, is what really tops it off. it is a recipe my mom made us growing up, it had us kids eating frosting by the spoon full hardly leaving any for the actual cake. it is really versatile as well, it can be used on just about any cake by changing the flavors. i like to make yellow cakes and use this frosting recipe by substituting the lemon with coco powder and adding an extra tablespoon or two of milk. i hope you enjoy this simple frosting recipe as much as we do – let me know if you try it out.
