This cake is right from the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook.  And it is fabulous.  And oh-so-summery!

For the frosting I just threw together some confectioners sugar, some of my leftover zest, and milk. I know I liked the final result!

  1. Beautiful cake Amanda!

    I love S’mores (Homemade Style) with homemade graham crackers and marshmallows. So yummy! Thanks for running this fun contest!

  2. Can I ask why you use box cake mixes? It’s so easy and much tastier to make a cake from scratch. Not to mention all the preservatives and additives. Bit disappointed TBH.

    1. Bethany, if you read my blog you will see that I use everything. I have over 100 original recipes on my site with from-scratch ingredients. Frankly, I get quite disenchanted by the homemade vs. box debate. I am just happy when people choose to bake! I would never judge someone for using a box, I would be grateful and thankful they chose to share! 😉

  3. I made this cake today and the berries all sunk to the bottom of the cakes. Is there any way to make them suspend evenly throughout the batter? It was delicious, by the way, even though it looked like blueberry upside-down cake.
