A soft sunshine-yellow sheet cake soaked with sweet lemonade cream and topped with fluffy whipped frosting.

This tastes like the first really hot day of summer. Like bare feet on warm porch boards, citronella candles flickering while the kids catch lightning bugs, and a glass sweating sweet tea rings onto the table beside you. It's bright, nostalgic, creamy, and incredibly easy to make.

The best part? The cake gets poked while warm and soaked with a homemade lemonade cream mixture so every bite stays ultra soft and chilled and dreamy.
