Watermelon Cake

This cake recipe is so simple and delicious!

You'll need:
2 1/2 C. all purpose flour
1 pkg. cherry flavored unsweetened drink mix
2 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 C. softened butter
1 1/4 sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
2/3 C pureed watermelon

Preheat oven at 350F*.
In a medium bowl mix flour, drink mix, baking powder and salt; set aside.
In a large bowl beat butter for 30 seconds. Gradually add sugar 1/4 C at a time, beat well after each addition. Beat 2 minutes longer.
Add eggs one egg at a time.
Beat in vanilla.
Then alternately add flour mixture 1/3 at a time, and watermelon puree half at a time, beat just until blended.

Pour into greased cake, loaf or muffin pan.
The batter will make 3 loaves, 24 muffins, and probably about 2 cakes.
Bake for about 20-25 minutes. Or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
