Mouthwatering Triple-Layer Lemon Cream Cake That Wows
Ingredients
Scale
- 80 g unsalted butter
- 100 g whole milk
- 120 g cake flour
- 90 g egg yolks
- 175 g egg whites
- 100 g granulated sugar
- 10 g fresh lemon juice
- 200 g lemon curd
- 400 g heavy cream
- 24 g granulated sugar
- 120 g white chocolate chips
- 130 g heavy cream
- 3 g gelatin sheets
- finely grated lime zest
Instructions
- Separate egg yolks and whites. Place the egg whites in the freezer until tiny ice crystals form, about 15 minutes.
- Heat whole milk and unsalted butter in a double boiler until the butter melts. Remove from heat, sift in the cake flour and whisk until smooth. Add the egg yolks and keep the mixture warm.
- Whip the frozen egg whites with granulated sugar and fresh lemon juice until soft peaks form.
- Fold ⅓ of the whipped egg whites into the yolk batter, then pour this mixture back into the remaining egg whites. Gently fold until just combined.
- Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Line a 28×28×2.6 cm baking pan with parchment paper. Pour in the batter and spread it evenly. Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Whip heavy cream with sugar until stiff peaks form for the frosting.
- Assemble by placing the first cake layer on a serving plate. Spread whipped cream over the top, pipe a border, and fill with lemon curd. Repeat with the second layer.
- Apply a thin crumb coat of whipped cream over the entire cake. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to set.
- Soak gelatin sheets in cold water for 5-7 minutes. Squeeze out excess water.
- Heat heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl. Pour the hot cream over the white chocolate chips, let sit for 2 minutes, then whisk until smooth.
- Pour the glaze evenly over the chilled cake and chill for 10-15 minutes to set.
- Top with freshly grated lime zest, slice, and serve.
Notes
- Use fresh ingredients for best flavor.
- Allow the cake to chill properly for the glaze to set.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
