This cake is sweet and sour and perfect for any Sour Patch Kid fan!
When I saw this cake on The Spiffy Cookie, a blog I've followed for forever, I knew immediately it would be my husband's birthday cake. Erin posted it about two months after his birthday, so I waited 10 months to make it and it was absolutely worth the wait! Nick was so excited about this cake and it turned out lovely. Erin did hers with a surprise inside cake recipe from a cookbook (if you stop by her post linked down below, she has a link to the cookbook), so it was a taller cake. The next time I make this one, I will probably make two boxes of the amped up cake mix and double the frosting, so that the cake stands taller like Erin's did.
But even without it being taller, it was a moist, lemony cake with some seriously amazing lemon cream cheese frosting that complimented the Sour Patch Kids sourness perfectly. Plus it was so colorful. Everyone loved it - including the birthday boy - back when he turned...28 in 2015. LOL. I'm so behind on sharing all the recipes I've made. Awful, I know. I also really loved this cake which has started me down the road of hoarding lemon sweets recipes. Before this cake, I really preferred lemons in savory dishes.
