Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Place the butter in a heat safe bowl. Set a mesh sieve on top of the bowl and set aside. Whisk together the sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, egg yolks, and egg in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat, whisk stirring constantly with a heat-safe rubber spatula to keep the eggs from curdling. Cook until the lemon curd thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon or reciters 160°F on a candy thermometer. Once thickened, remove the curd from the heat and strain through the mesh sieve into the butter. Stir the lemon curd until the butter melts and combines. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly to the surface of the curd and refrigerate until cool and thick. Lemon curd may be made in advanced and stored for up to 1 month in the refrigerator.

Gabriella Hauser ★ 5.0/5

Very delicious cake.
I opted to make mine 4 layers adding a thin layer of seedless raspberry jelly to each layer then mascapone cheese frosting then fresh raspberries. Topped with more fresh raspberries and garnished with mint. Was amazing 😍
