LEMON VELVET CREAM CAKE



Lemon Velvet Cream Cake image

The four layers of rich and velvety lemon cake in this spring dessert are impressive, but the real star of this citrusy stunner is the silky-smooth homemade frosting. Tucked between each tier and wrapped along the outside of the cake, one lick of the frosting taste and you'll quickly understand why this lemon velvet cake is so popular. The satiny spread is made from a combination of cream cheese and whipping cream, sweetened with powdered sugar and grated lemon peel. The tangy flavor of the luxurious frosting paired with the moist lemon velvet cake base is what makes this showstopper a popular fan-favorite.

A Betty Crocker recipe that starts with a boxed mix to simplify it. I used a lemon curd recipe for a filling and to make it more special. Whip cream and cream cheese makes for a wonderful frosting
