Lemon Layer Cake with Lemon Cream Frosting recipe originally published in Gourmet - January 2001.
One of the things about the cake decorating class that I was anticipating was getting to bake a lot. We don’t keep too many sweets around here because my husband is like Cookie Monster… before he got all healthy and stuff.
Seriously, what is so bad about occasionally indulging in cookies? It isn’t like I am overweight because Cookie Monster told me to eat sweets. Also, I think most kids realize that he doesn’t eat most of the cookies anyway because he’s shoving them in so fast, they crumble and fall out. At least I noticed that and wondered why he didn’t just slow down so he didn’t have to cram so many into his mouth.
Okay, Sesame Street rant over…
So I have a ton of cake recipes that I’ve never made because they are layer cakes and I have issues making layer cakes. They never fit together nicely for me and I couldn’t frost them to save my life. Now that is all over and done with since I’ve been taught how! Yippee!!!!!
I’ve been sitting on this recipe for over 10 years. It was time.

It is light and fluffy with a lovely layer of lemon curd between the layers. Don’t worry… I’m going to write a separate post regarding my second class and my first attempt at frosting and decorating a cake. Just enjoy the splendor that is my yummy cake right now.
