Best Lemon Curd Cake
This sweet and super lemony gooey cake is sure to impress everyone! Best of all, it's crazy easy to make.
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour,
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- ¾ cup sugar
- 6 oz butter, at room temperature
- 3 large eggs
- 12 oz lemon curd (store-bought or homemade) divided
- confectioners' sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper or grease it with butter.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
- Beat the sugar and butter until well combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add half of the lemon curd. Mix well.
- Fold in the flour into the egg mixture until well-blended.
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared pan. Drop by teaspoons-full the remaining lemon curd spreading it randomly over the top of the cake.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown on top, though it may still jiggle a little. Leave the cake to cool in the pan. Turn out, remove the baking paper (if used), then dust with sifted confectioners' sugar, if desired.
Notes
TIPS & TRICKS
The cake shrinks as it cools down but it rises up while being baked. If using an 8-inch cake pan, place it above a baking sheet in case the cake bubbles over, or simply use a 9-inch pan.
