Each kid in our family had their own "signature" birthday cake. Mine is carrot cake with cream cheese frosting. My sister Tessa's is lemonade cake. This yummy, and super easy cake is a family favorite. My cousin Jenny even made it at our family reunion this summer (I think she had to make at least 4 to feed all of us). Her brother taught her to make it when he visited us over 20 years ago and she has been making it ever since. We had some friends over for dinner last week and it was a hit.
