Lemon Bavarian Torte image

This is a moist, refreshing cake that presents beautifully. The inspiration for it came from a friend who loves the flavor of lemon and from luvmybge's Chocolate Bavarian Torte (recipe #106926). I wanted to use 9 inch cake pans but wanted the split layers to be a bit thicker so I have to thank Laurie for her Cake Mix Extender (recipe #54269). I hope you enjoy this as much as my company did. My thanks to luvmybge and Laurie.

This torte is a great way to use up leftover egg whites. It's also a very light and refreshing dessert, which is perfect for summer.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon desserts, but this torte was surprisingly good. The lemon flavor is very subtle, and the overall flavor is very well-balanced.

This is the best lemon Bavarian torte I've ever had! The filling is so smooth and creamy, and the crust is perfectly flaky.
