Lemon Curd Cake



Mom's Birthday Cake. It took me almost 10 hours to make (Longer than it took for my mom to give birth to me!). This was definitely a Labor of Love. The Lemon Curd was an arduous step that left me wishing I owned a lemon tree (6 lemons) and a chicken coop (4 eggs, 4 egg whites and 16 egg yolks, !). I refrigerated the curd for 2 hours (I wish I would have made it a day ahead). The batter was very thick (I used sour cream) and baked for 30 minutes total (Rotating at 15 min). The Lemon Swiss Meringue was delicious and easy to spread. If you love lemons you'll love this cake.
Happy Birthday Mom (Tita)!
123 to Go!
