ITALIAN LEMON CREAM CAKE



Italian Lemon Cream Cake image

I enjoyed a lemon cream cake at a popular Italian restaurant so much that I wanted to recreate it at home. It is a white cake topped with vanilla crumbs and filled with rich lemon cream. After a few attempts, this is the version that I like best. It uses a white cake mix to cut preparation time. Store cake in the refrigerator.

⅔ cup confectioners' sugar, divided, plus more for dusting
3 tablespoons lemon juice

2 cups heavy whipping cream

Steps:

Beat cream and remaining 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar together in a separate bowl using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold cream cheese mixture into whipped cream.
  • Remove cake from springform pan. Cut cake horizontally into 2 layers using a serrated knife; remove top layer. Spread filling onto the bottom cake layer; place top cake over filling. Refrigerate cake for at least 4 hours. Dust cake with more confectioners' sugar before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh lemons, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • Make sure the butter and cream cheese are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help them to cream together smoothly.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with batter on it, the cake needs to bake longer.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • If you don't have time to make the frosting, you can use store-bought frosting.

Conclusion:

This Italian Triple Lemon Cream Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. It's perfect for any occasion, from a casual get-together to a special celebration.
