Day 21: 31 Days of Pinterest: Pink Lemonade Cake
5:30 PM
Well... I always wonder what, if anything, I'll forget when I go on vacation. This time it was the bundt pan I was needing to use for this Pinterest recipe. So... I punted... and tweaked a bit... and it was still great, just not as picturesque. :)
Pink Lemonade Cake
Ingredients:
one lemon cake mix
one package lemon pudding mix
4 eggs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup pink lemonade concentrate
pink or red food color (not sure how they got theirs so pink in their picture, the lemon pudding and cake are very yellow, so even when I added red color, it was very orangish)
Glaze:
1 cup pink lemonade concentrate
1/2 cup white sugar
Frosting (my add in)
1 container cool whip
3 Tbs pink lemonade concentrate
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Since I didn't have a bundt pan, I instead made two square cakes.
Grease one bundt pan (or two squares!).
In large bowl, mix cake mix, pudding mix, eggs, oil, milk, 1/2 cup lemonade concentrate until smooth and pour into pan/s. Bake for 50 minutes- 1 hour for bundt pan or 40-50 minutes for squares.
Remove from oven and make holes all over with a fork. Pour glaze on top. Take out when almost cool.
While waiting, mix one container cool whip with 3 Tbs pink lemonade concentrate with a whisk.
Place cake/s on serving plate and allow to cool. Frost with frosting. (Next time I think I would put frosting in between cakes also.)
Serve and enjoy! A great summer cake! Very rich so be sure to cut small pieces! :)

What you should know about HIV
-HIV can NOT be spread through casual/household contact. HIV is not spread through hugging, kissing, shaking hands, sharing toys, sneezing, coughing, sharing food, sharing drinks, bathing, swimming or any other casual way. It has been proven that HIV and AIDS can only be spread through sexual contact, birth, breastfeeding and blood to blood contact (such as sharing needles).
- HIV is now considered a chronic but manageable disease. With treatment, people who are HIV+ can live indefinitely without developing AIDS and can live long and full lives.
- People who are HIV+ deserve to be treated with love, respect, support and acceptance as all people do.
Additional information on transmission of HIV can be found on the Center for Disease Control website: http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources

Little Did I Know
Little did I know that the road would be so rocky
Little did I know that the trip would take so long
Little did I know that my heart could hurt so much
Little did I know that God is never wrong
Little did I know that love could be so powerful
Little did I know that a dream so far could go
Little did I know that God would place the right ones
Little did I know that my heart, so large, could grow
Little did I know that a dream has it’s own timing
Little did I know that this day would finally come
Little did I know that four souls would be sent to guide me
Little did I know that they would choose to call me mom
But God knew all along and He had a plan to follow
God knew all along that my dream would soon come true
God knew all along that we five should be together
God knew all along that I’d share it all with you
