Instructions

In an electric mixer, put dry cake mix, eggs, oil, and replace half of the water required with lemonade concentrate.

For frosting:
Using electric mixer, add confectioners sugar and shortening to mixer bowl; mix until incorporated. Add lemon extract. Then add thawed pink lemonade concentrate to desired consistency. (You may want to start off slow, the frosting can get pretty sour if using too much off the concentrate). You can always adjust by putting more confectioners sugar and water in).
