Prep Time

One hour

Serves

Eight people

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups unsalted butter, softened
  • 6 cups confectioner's sugar
  • 4 Tbsp. Wonder Lemon juice (any flavor)
  • 3 tsp. lemon zest
  • 1/4 tsp. salt

Lemon Pancake Cake Directions:

Follow the instructions on your instant pancake mix by replacing the liquid ingredient with Wonder Lemon Juice. Add any extra ingredients as indicated on the pancake mix package.

Make a stack of pancakes, (about 8-12), about 6-8 inches wide, and place in refrigerator to fully cool.

In the meantime, make the citrus buttercream frosting by beating the butter until fluffy and adding the rest of the ingredients. Beat until combined.

Assemble your pancakes by spreading buttercream on top of each pancake layer and frosting the sides until you have a fully frosted “cake”.

Crush freeze-dried fruits and sprinkle throughout then drizzle maple syrup before serving.

What is a Lemon Pancake Cake?

Similar to a crepe cake, a lemon pancake “cake” is also made with layers paired with lemon buttercream that gives it a sweet and tangy taste that works really well with a pancake mix.

Tips for Perfect Pancake Cake Layers

This recipe may be simple but there are some ways that something could happen with your lemon pancake cake, like the pancakes slipping, or the pancakes burning, so here are some of our tips to ensure you’ll get the perfect lemon pancake cake:

  • Cool before stacking – Avoid melting the buttercream or slipping by cooling the pancakes completely
  • Butter the pan lightly – Too much butter can make your pancake too crispy or too greasy. 
  • Trim the sides – To make it look cleaner, you can trim the sides to ensure that the pancake looks clean. 
  • Use a ladle or measuring cup – Having consistent measurements when using the batter will ensure that your pancakes are evenly sized

Toppings Substitutions 

Make your lemon cake shine with different toppings! If you’re not particularly fond of freeze-dried fruits, here are some of our substitutions for the toppings: 

  • Fresh Berries – Berries and lemon are a classic zesty pairing.
  • Toasted Coconut Flakes – This is amazing if you’re looking for something more tropical and want to add extra texture. 
  • Chopped Nuts – For a crunchier texture, try out this recipe and add chopped nuts as texture. 

Why Use Wonder Juice Lemon?

Wonder Juice adds a fresh, vibrant citrus flavor that is simply just perfect for your lemon pancake cake without the need for artificial extracts or concentrates. Made with 100% cold-pressed lemon, this adds a fun, zesty, and tangy taste to this lemon cake.

The best part about this? It comes in fun flavors like Lemon + Mint, Lemon + Ginger, Lemon + Basil + Jalapeno, so you can shake things up and give your cake a little twist.

Whether you’re mixing it into your batter or whipping up a dreamy citrus frosting, Wonder Lemon Juice brings a pop of flavor that makes your whole dessert feel fresh, fun, and healthy!
