Lemon Cake is a tender white cake filled with tart lemon curd and covered with a fluffy whipped cream frosting.

This cake is moist, tender, and soft. It has a wonderful lemon cream cheese frosting and bursting with tangy curd lemon between the layers!

It’s perfect for a teatime treat, cake sale, birthday, or when you want to treat yourself and your family.

Lemons are tangy, sweet, sour, and wonderfully acidic. They’re absolute perfection in a layer cake.

Lemon Cake

This cake makes me think of warm weather and springtime. It’s sunny and light and perfect for spring and Easter.

Lemon desserts are one of my favorite flavors. This layer cake has fluffy white cake layers that are very soft and tender. It’s filled with a tart and tangy lemon curd. A flavorful, sweet frosting cascades over the entire cake.

The creamy sweet frosting contrasts nicely with the tangy lemon curds filling and the buttery, fluffy cake layers. It’s sweet, tart, melt-in-your-mouth goodness!

Ingredients

Cake:

  • White cake mix prepared according to package instructions in three 8-inch round pans.

Lemon Curd Filling:

  • 8 largee egg yolks
  • 1 and 1/2 cup sugar
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 3 large lemons zest gratedĀ and juiced

Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting:

  • 1 pint chilled whipping cream
  • 6 oz softened cream cheese
  • 2 and1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 large lemons zest grated and juiced

Instructions

  • Bake cake according to package instructions. Cool.
  • For the lemon curd, place all ingredients in a double boiler over boiling water careful not to let water touch bowl. Cook and whisk until mixture begins to thicken slightly. Remove from heat and cool. When cool place plastic wrap directly on curd, then refrigerate.
  • For the frosting, in a chilled bowl whip cream until stiff. In another mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon zest and juice until smooth. Gently fold cream cheese mixture into whipped cream. This makes enough frosting to frost the entire cake - between layers, sides and top. You'll have extra to hide and eat yourself Ā that's great as a fruit dip or you can always half the ingredients and make less.
  • To assemble, lay one cake layer on serving platter and spread lemon curd on top. Add second cake layer and spread lemon curd on top of it. Place last cake layer on top. Frost sides and top of cake with whipped cream mixture. Garnish with slice of lemon and mint leaves. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

    Love lemon, and your cake looks delish. I saw this at Carole's chatter so had to come and visit and check it out. I have printed it off and copied the orginal white cake recipe. I have made lemon cupcakes with lemon curd filling in the past but would like to try them in cupcake form again. The icing is especillay interesting. Thanks for the post Andi thewednesdaybaker.blogspot.com
