White Chocolate Lemon-Cream Cake image

This is heavenly! and so beautiful to serve for an adult's birthday or to auction off at fund-raisers, which is what we do a lot of times at local benefits for people. It really is a lot more simple than it sounds. Time is approximate, depending on when you make the cake and make the icing. This cake also freezes well for 1 month.

Yield 1 9

Number Of Ingredients 16

3/4 cup butter, softened
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temperature
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1/2 cup sour cream
1 3/4 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
3/4 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1/4 cup water
1 egg, beaten
1 cup whipping cream
3 tablespoons whipping cream
4 (4 ounce) bars premier white chocolate (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Cake:.
  • Cream butter and cream cheese; gradually add sugar, beating well at medium speed of an electric mixer.
  • Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add sour cream and beat just until blended.
  • Add flour to creamed mixture, beating just until blended. Stir in vanilla.
  • Pour batter into a greased and floured 9-inch round cake pan. Bake at 325°F for 1 hour or until a wooden pick comes out clean.
  • Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Remove and cool completely on a wire rack. Place in freezer until frosting.
  • Frosting:.
  • Combine sugar, cornstarch, and lemon rind in a heavy saucepan; stir well. Stir in juice and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Boil 1 minutes stirring constantly.
  • Gradually stir about half of the hot mixture into the beaten egg. Stir into the remaining hot mixture. Cook stirring constantly over medium heat for 2 minutes, until thick and bubbly.
  • Transfer mixture to a small bowl and chill completely.
  • Beat whipping cream at high speed of mixer (freeze bowl, cream, and whisk before whipping) until stiff peaks form. Stir in 1/2 cup whipped cream into the lemon mixture. Fold in the lemon mixture into the whipped cream.
  • Spread over the top and sides of cake.
  • Using a vegetable peeler, make chocolate curls from the bars of white chocolate. If you want to get "fancy", melt the chocolate in a sandwich bag one at a time. Pipe in fancy shapes, such as hearts, scrolls, lace, etc. onto waxed or parchment paper. Let harden completely and apply to cake.

This cake is beautiful and delicious! I made it for my sister's birthday and she loved it. The cake was moist and fluffy, and the lemon cream filling was the perfect amount of tartness. I will definitely be making this cake again.

This cake is amazing! I've made it twice now and it's always a hit. The lemon cream filling is the perfect balance of tart and sweet, and the white chocolate ganache is rich and decadent. I highly recommend this recipe.

This cake was a disappointment. The lemon flavor was barely there and the cake was dry and crumbly.

Overall, I thought this cake was good, but not great. I might try a different recipe next time.

The ganache was a bit too thick for my taste. I might try using a bit less heavy cream next time.

The cake was a bit dry for my taste. I might try adding a bit more butter or oil next time.

I would have liked the lemon flavor to be a bit more pronounced. I might add a bit more lemon zest next time.
