I can make a pretty decent lemonade cake, but I'm looking for ideas to kick it up a little to make it over the top. Definitely going to add more zest, then what? Ideas welcome.

Some ideas off top of think tank ...
The Topping ...
1/2 cup Lemon Curd
1 cup water
1 or 2 large fresh lemon, cut in thin circular fine slices and placed around the cake in circle ... for decorative touch ...
Have lovely Summer,
Ciao, Margi.
No thanks. I probably have the same recipe somewhere. Your right though. Where I got the inspiration was from a similar recipe for the same sort of thing. This is really just a lemon pound cake with a lemonade (soak?) made from frozen lemonade concentrate. I added lemon zest to the batter along with the juice. I've made it before and it always turns out good. I'm just not so good at additions or garnishes. I thought about lemon jelly slice candy on top. Maybe the candy idea is too much. I don't know. The spiral lemon slice idea Margi mentioned sounds good. How about candied lemon rind for a garnish? Would that work? I want it to be pretty too.CWS4322 said:In my grandma's cookbook, there is a recipe for a "very lemon cake" that uses a yellow cake mix and lemon jello, lemon juice (fresh), and lemon zest. I don't do box cake mixes, but if you'd like, I can post the recipe (not TNT'd by me--and somewhat scanty re: directions--inspiration though).
