Recipe Fun Friday -- Strawberry Lemonade Cake

One of my friends and I are throwing a baby shower for Laura next week. She is due with her fifth child New Year's Day, and we are all very excited. Anyway, I found this recipe for Raspberry Lemonade Cake in my inbox one day, and I thought it would be good for the shower. John has advised me in the past not to try new recipes out at events like that, in case they don't turn out well. So I made a trial cake this week to see how it tasted. It was delicious! Even John liked it, and he agreed that it would do well at the shower.

The recipe, like I said, is for Raspberry Lemonade Cake, but I like strawberries better, so I substituted strawberry Jello for the raspberry. Other than that, I made the recipe as stated. Maybe in the future, I will experiment with the icing in order to make it myself, but not next week. Laura, do you prefer strawberries or raspberries? You get to choose since it's your shower.

Did you try a new recipe this week? If so, leave a link.

Ooh, that cake looks great!! I prefer strawberries too. I've never been a raspberry fan...I think it's the crunchy seeds that I don't like. I can't wait to taste it! :)
