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. Love the way you choose colors and flavors – this combination looks amazing togather)))
    Pity it’s based on a box mix – we don’t have such things here in Russia(

    My favourite summer dessert is strawberry-lemon sorbet))) And I told my friend about her smile) xoxo

  8. One of my favorite pastimes is making blueberry / strawberry bread. This recipe really expands the bread/ muffin experience to a true desert format. How clever.
