Start by selecting a cake base that complements the bright and zesty flavor of lemon curd. Options like vanilla, white chocolate.
Prepare your cake layers according to your chosen recipe, ensuring they are baked to perfection and cooled completely before assembling.
For the freshest and most vibrant flavor, consider making your own lemon curd from scratch using fresh lemon juice, sugar, eggs, and butter.
Once the lemon curd has cooled, it's time to prepare the filling. Spread a generous layer of lemon curd between each cake layer, allowing the tangy flavor to infuse every bite.
Classic choices like vanilla buttercream or cream cheese frosting complement the tartness of the lemon curd beautifully.
Get creative with decorative touches to enhance the presentation of your cake. Fresh lemon slices, zest, edible flowers, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
For the best texture and flavor, chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together and the filling to set.
Slice the cake and serve it to delighted guests, savoring each mouthful of the perfect balance of sweet cake and tangy lemon curd filling.
If you have any leftovers, store the cake in the refrigerator in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
