Yield 1 10-inch cake, 10-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening or 1/2 cup lard
1/2 cup mascarpone, soft or 1/2 cup cream cheese
2 cups sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt

2 lemons, zest and juice
3 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

Steps:

  • Cream together butter, shortening and cream cheese with sugar until very light.
  • Add salt, lemon and vanilla extracts, and eggs. Scrape bowl and beat again.
  • With mixer on low, stir in sour cream, buttermilk, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  • Add dry ingredients. When they have been moistened, increase mixer speed and beat for about 20 seconds.
  • Have ready, a greased and floured tube pan, add batter.
  • Smooth top of cake. Place sauce in three dollops. Swirl into the batter in each spot, reaching into the cake, incorporate until it desolves from the top, but does not become homogenous.
  • Place cake to bake on the middle layer of a 300 degree preheated oven for about 1 1/2 hours. The cake will still be soft on top when it is completed. Check for doneness, remembering to distinguish between batter, and filling, as it goes.
  • Cake can be unfolded soon after it has baked. It is a good idea to cool on parchment because the top is soft.
  • This cake can be kept, well wrapped, for several days, before it is eaten. Eat at room temperature.

ITALIAN CREAM-FILLED CAKE



Italian Cream-Filled Cake image

This Italian cream dessert is very simple but fancy enough to serve as a birthday cake. It's low on sugar and big on flavor. You can swap the lemon zest for orange or lime to change things up. You can also add a layer of jam on top of the first layer of dough-raspberry jam, marmalade jam or even Nutella work well. -Maria Morelli, West Kelowna, British Columbia

  • If you are using a store-bought frosting, be sure to whip it until it is light and fluffy before spreading it on the cake.
