# Instructions:
01 -
Turn your oven to 350°F and wait until it's fully warmed up.

Mix the cake mix, eggs, oil, and water until smooth and lump-free. Pour this mixture into a 9x13 pan, then stick it in the oven for 28-33 minutes or until the top turns golden.
03 -
Cool the cake for 15 minutes out of the oven. Use a fork to poke holes all over the cake. Blend the powdered sugar with lemonade concentrate, then pour this mixture evenly over the slightly warm cake.

Let the cake cool completely. Once it's at room temperature, cover it and pop it into the fridge for at least an hour to chill fully.

Beat softened butter and cream cheese until smooth and fluffy. Gradually add powdered sugar along with a little lemonade and salt until everything is creamy and light.
06 -
Spread the freshly prepared frosting across the top of your chilled cake, making sure it’s nice and even before serving.
# Notes:
01 -
Store the cake in the fridge until you're ready to eat it.
