Treat Tuesday-Sweet Tea-and-Lemonade Cake

IMG_0755Have you ever had a drink called “Arnold Palmer”?  Named after the golfer, it is a refreshing beverage of Iced Tea and Lemonade.  A friend of mine spied this recipe and sent it to me.  She knows I like to bake for occasions and thought this would be the perfect Treat Tuesday for the week leading up to The Masters!  I couldn’t agree more and this cake is fantastic!!

IMG_0746For the “tea” portion of the cake, you brew some iced tea bags to add into the batter.

IMG_0748The “lemonade” comes in the frosting using lemon zest and lemon juice.  Make sure you use actual lemons here, this is not a place to substitute from the little plastic lemon!

IMG_0752When the cake and the frosting come together it is deliciousness.
