LEMON CREAM CAKE W/ MILK CRUMB TOPPING RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Lemon Cream Cake w/ Milk Crumb Topping Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 10

Cake:
1 box white cake mix, plus ingredients to prepare as listed on box
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
Filling:
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, slightly softened
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 1/3 cups confectioners sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Milk Crumb Topping: recipe in Directions

Steps:

  • For the Cake: Prepare cake as directed on box, adding in the lemon juice and zest. Bake in 2 (9-inch) round cake pans for time listed on box. Cool completely on wire racks. For the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl and using a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese, confectioners sugar, and lemon juice together until smooth. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Using a spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into cream cheese mixture. Refrigerate until cakes are completely cool. Spread HALF the cream cheese filling on bottom cake layer; add other cake layer and spread rest of the filling on top. (You will need to increase the filling amounts to frost the sides of cake.) Sprinkle cooled crumb topping (recipe below) over the top of cake. Refrigerate for about 3 hours. At serving, sift confectioners sugar over the crumb topping, if desired. NOTES: 1. I used Pillsbury cake mix, using 2. One whole Jumbo egg and 2 jumbo egg whites 3. I used whipping cream for the filling but for a shortcut you may be able to substitute with full-fat Cool Whip 4. I made the homemade crumb topping below but you could just crumble shortbread cookies (such as Lorna Doone Shortbread cookies or Pepperidge Farm Chessman cookies) over the top instead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Milk Crumb Topping: 1/2 cup dry milk powder (I used non-fat) 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons cornstarch 2 tablespoons sugar 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 stick butter, melted Preheat oven to 250° F. Line a large baking sheet pan with parchment paper. Set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the dry milk powder, flour, cornstarch, sugar, and salt. Add the melted butter and toss mixture together with a spatula, until it starts to come together and form small clusters. Spread clusters out on the prepared pan. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely before using on cake.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 c buttermilk
1 c sugar
2 eggs
2 Tbsp butter or marg., melted
2 tsp vanilla
3 c flour
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 can(s) lemon pie filling
topping:
1 c flour
2/3 c sugar
1/3 c cold butter or marg. cubed

Steps:

  • 1. In large bowl beat first 5 ingredients.

  • 3. Grease 9x13 pan. Pour mixture into pan.
  • 4. Drop pie filling by teaspoons onto cake mixture.
  • 5. Combine topping by cutting in butter until mixture is crumbly texture. I used a pastery cutter, pictured.
  • 6. Sprinkle topping over cake mixture.
  • 7. 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemon zest and juice give the cake its bright, citrusy flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor won't be as good.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to tell if the cake is done baking.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the cake for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Lemon crumb cake is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
