Lemonade cake recipe is a refreshing end

I wanted to give readers a recipe that would be nice finish to any meal. This lemonade cake was something I ran across more than 10 years ago, which I've adapted.

You can add an additional egg white and cut back on eggs to two, it also really makes a nice color variation to add in pink lemonade concentrate. Make sure to use clear vanilla extract and the color of the lemonade can been seen.
