AB #18 : Drooling Lemon Layer Cake with Homemade Lemon Curd

What's more salivating , drooling and .............. than having a piece of chilled Lemon Layer Cake made from homemade Lemon Curd ? For those who follow my blog frequently will know that I actually can't resist Lemon. I love lemon from the head to the very tiny roundy toe ... if there is such word. LOL. The lemon scent is simply yummy .
I made the lemon curd a day ahead and chilled it in the fridge overnight. I actually leave it to reach roo,m temperature before using it for this layer cake. I am so happy with the results.. Stunningly Yummy Lemony Lemon Layer Cake ..
I was plain lazy to search for layer cake recipe online , as all I wanted was just a simple lemon layer cake. So I am actually trying to be creative. Seems that this is the easiest layer cake ever. I simply love this cake. Hmmm... Now that I realise I dun talk or brag a lot yeah ..LOL... Well I can't help it , born to be so ... LOL

100g    Caster Sugar [ Original recipe calls for 180g ]

3.  Fold in flour gently until all well combine . Pour in melted butter and mix well
4.  Pour batter into 2 prepared pan and bake at 180C for 35 minutes . Remove from oven and take out to  cool on wire rack immediately.

To assemble 
1.   Cut each cake into 2 layer . Place one payer of cake at the base on the cake board .
