This Strawberry Lemonade Cake is a fresh, fruity summer dessert made with real strawberry puree and freshly squeezed lemon juice! There's an ultra moist strawberry cake topped with lemon buttercream frosting -- it will be a hit at any summer barbecue!
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a 9x13" baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together oil and sugar until combined.
Add strawberry puree, eggs and vanilla and whisk until combined.
Add the flour, baking powder and salt and slowly stir just until moistened. Spread batter into prepared cake pan.
Bake for 40-45 minutes, just until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with moist crumbs. Let cool completely before frosting.
Frosting:
In a large bowl, beat butter until smooth with an electric mixer.
Add the powdered sugar, cream, and lemon zest (start slowly with the lemon if you don't like too much zing!) and beat until smooth. Add lemon juice just until desired consistency is reached.
