Step aside chocolate, this absolutely divine lemon curd layer cake is the new special favorite occasion dessert in town! SUPER easy (only 3 ingredients)Lemon Curd Layer Cake Recipe

This wasn’t even a planned blog post.

My husband (the chef and baker in our family) made this lemon layer cake for a family friend — lemon desserts are her favorite.

As a self-proclaimed chocoholic, I don’t really understand why anyone would choose a non-chocolate dessert as their favorite. However, this lemon cake changed my mind.

In fact, it was so good that I asked permission to grab my camera and snap a few shots during the birthday festivities! (Which is why these are not the usual food blog staged shots).

Light fluffy cake dripping with tart lemon curd and wrapped in luscious whipped cream. What’s not to love?!

I already put in a request to my husband to make this cake for my own birthday…four months away!

Step aside chocolate, this absolutely divine lemon curd layer cake is the new special favorite occasion dessert in town! SUPER easy (only 3 ingredients)

Lemon Curd Cake Ingredients

  • 1 box white cake mix (plus ingredients listed on box)
  • 1 large tub of whipped topped
  • 1 cup lemon fruit filling

Directions

Prepare cake mix according to directions on box. Bake in two 9″ round pans. Allow to cool completely.

Level each cake so they’re even. Then cut each cake in half lengthwise so you have 4 layer cakes.

TIP: Try this cake cutting trick from In The Kids Kitchen for perfect layers every time!

Place one cake layer on a cake stand and cover liberally with lemon curd.

Add another layer of cake and top this layer with whipped cream.

Repeat with the other two layers of cake, then frost the entire cake with the whipped topping. Finish with fresh raspberries and lemon zest. Keep refrigerated.
