I mean, can there be any more fabulous flavor for a summer cake"
Be sure to store leftovers in the refrigerator. I actually like to serve it chilled. It makes the cake taste more refreshing.

 
Tips for making Sweet Tea and Lemonade Cake:

Be sure to let the tea cool before proceeding with the recipe. And measure out just 1 cup of it to use.
This recipe uses cake flour which produces a lighter, softer texture than all-purpose flour. Cake flour is more finely ground than all-purpose flour and it tends to get packed down. To get an accurate measurement, first fluff the flour up some with a spoon and then spoon it into a measuring cup. Run a knife over the top of the measuring cup to level it off. Do not scoop the flour to measure or you will pack it down and you will end up with too much flour in your batter, resulting in a dry cake.
