Super Sour Cake

Two years as I was looking through my mom's cookbooks I came across a pamphlet book from Betty Crocker.  In it I found a recipe for a bright pink and green sour cake, I copied the recipe and then, of course, lost it.  However, a few months ago my mom downsized her cooking book shelf and I got the book with my missing super sour cake recipe!!!! I have been dying to make this for YEARS!!

 Super Sour Cake


Cake
1 box Betty Crocker® SuperMoist® white cake mix
1 ¼ cups water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
2 packages (0.14 oz each) strawberry- or lemon lime-flavored unsweetened soft drink mix
½ cup frozen lemonade or limeade concentrate, thawed

Super Sour Frosting
1 package (0.13 oz or 0.14 oz) lemon lime- or strawberry-flavored unsweetened soft drink mix
4 to 5 tablespoons frozen lemonade or limeade concentrate, thawed
3 cups powdered sugar
¼ cup butter or margarine, softened
Sour gummi candies, if desired

Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pan). Grease bottom only of 13x9-inch pan with shortening or cooking spray. In large bowl, beat cake mix, water, oil, eggs and 2 packages drink mix with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds. Beat on medium speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. (Batter will be lumpy.) Pour into pan.
Bake 27 to 33 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 15 minutes.
Pierce top of warm cake every 1/2 inch with long-tined fork, wiping fork occasionally to reduce sticking. Drizzle 1/2 cup lemonade concentrate evenly over top of cake. Cool completely, 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes.
In medium bowl, stir 1 package drink mix into 2 tablespoons lemonade concentrate until dissolved. Beat in powdered sugar and butter on low speed. Gradually beat in enough of the remaining 2 to 3 tablespoons lemonade concentrate, 1 teaspoon at a time, to make frosting smooth and spreadable. Spread frosting over top of cake. Cut into serving pieces. Decorate with sour candies. Store loosely covered at room temperature.


Result
I really liked this cake, but I also like sour stuff.  My daughter liked it as well.  This would make a great birthday cake.  I've eaten 4 pieces so far!  I need to get it out of the house before I eat the whole thing.
