  1. I love this recipe. I just found it again and was so very happy. I serve mine over fresh strawberry cake and it is loved by everyone. thanks for posting it.
     
  2. This was so good and easy! I'd made a lemonade cake, recipe on the back of the lemon cake mix from Betty Crocker. Didn't give an idea for a frosting...so I just searched on Recipezaar, and as usual found the perfect match. A great dessert idea for warm days.
