"Released in 1961 with the tagline, "looks like fun, tastes like a party," this cake was light, fluffy, and lemony with a delightful soft pink color. The flavor was introduced alongside Pink Lemonade Deluxe Cake Mix and Pink Lemonade Fluffy Frosting Mix. The brand promised success with its angel food cake mix, claiming that each box contained 14.4 egg whites to achieve that signature airy texture."
"To make your own pink lemonade angel food cake, you can either start from scratch using your favorite light and fluffy angel food cake recipe or use a boxed angel food cake mix. The star ingredient of your cake will be freshly squeezed lemon juice, which will give the cake its slightly tart lemonade flavor. There is no need to actually use pink lemonade in the recipe, although you can if you want."
Pillsbury released a Pink Lemonade Angel Food Cake mix in 1961, marketed as light, fluffy, lemony, and soft pink with the tagline "looks like fun, tastes like a party." The product was paired with Pink Lemonade Deluxe Cake Mix and Pink Lemonade Fluffy Frosting Mix and claimed each box contained 14.4 egg whites to create an airy texture. The flavor likely stemmed from a prize-winning pink lemonade angel cake recipe from the Pillsbury Bake-Off. The mix was eventually discontinued, perhaps due to brands narrowing flavor lines. Homemade versions use fresh lemon juice for tartness and coloring for the pink hue.
