Yield Makes 1 (8-inch) layer cake

Number Of Ingredients 14

For cake layers
2 cups sifted cake flour (not self-rising; sift before measuring)
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup whole milk
2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
For frosting
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
Lemon curd , chilled
Garnish: candied violets

Steps:

  • Make cake layers:
  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Butter 2 (8- by 2-inch) round cake pans and line bottoms of each with rounds of wax or parchment paper. Butter paper and dust pans with flour, knocking out excess. Sift together flour, baking soda, and salt. Stir together milk and lemon juice (mixture will curdle).
  • Beat butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until creamy. Gradually add sugar, beating until pale and fluffy. Add eggs 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Alternately add flour mixture and milk mixture in batches, beginning and ending with flour, mixing at low speed until just combined.
  • Divide batter between pans, smoothing tops. Bake in middle of oven until a tester comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Cool in pans on racks 10 minutes, then invert onto racks, remove paper, and cool completely.
  • Make frosting:
  • Beat cream and confectioners sugar with cleaned beaters until it just holds stiff peaks. Fold one third of whipped cream into lemon curd to lighten, then fold in remaining whipped cream.
  • Assemble cake:
  • Put 1 cake layer, rounded side up, on a cake plate and spread with one fourth of frosting. Top with second layer, rounded side up, and spread top and sides with remaining frosting.

This cake was a bit too dry for my taste, but the frosting was delicious. I'll try adding more moisture to the cake batter next time.

This cake was a bit too tangy for my taste, but the texture was great. I'll try using less lemon juice next time.

Overall, this was a good recipe. The cake was moist and flavorful, but the frosting was a bit too runny. I'll try using a different frosting recipe next time.
