Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt. Mix on low speed until well combined.
Slowly add the slices of butter to the mixer and continue mixing until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, pink lemonade, milk, lemon extract, and vanilla extract.
With the mixer still on low speed, add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients in three batches. Mix until fully incorporated. Optional: add a few drops of pink or red food coloring for a light pink color.
Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean with a few crumbs.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan on a wire rack until it reaches room temperature. Meanwhile, prepare the frosting.
In the stand mixer, combine the butter and salt on low speed. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar in small amounts until all is added. Increase the speed to medium-high and mix until fluffy.
Add the pink lemonade concentrate and lemon extract to the frosting and continue mixing. If desired, add food coloring at this point.
Once the cake is fully cooled, spread the frosting over the top. Optional
