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.
