½ cup fresh lemon juice
3½ cups all-purpose flour
1½ teaspoons baking soda
1½ cups buttermilk

2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
½ cup almond liqueur
¼ cup sugar
½ cup finely chopped toasted sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Spray 3 (9-inch) round baking pans with nonstick baking spray with flour. In a large bowl, beat butter, sugar, and lemon zest at medium speed with a mixer until fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in lemon juice. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour and baking soda. Gradually add flour mixture to butter mixture, alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture, beating just until combined after each addition. Stir in sour cream. Spoon batter into prepared pans. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Let cool in pans for 10 minutes. Remove from pans, and let cool completely on wire racks. Spread Amaretto-Almond Filling between layers. Spread Fluffy Meringue Frosting over top and sides of cake. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
  • In a small bowl, combine gelatin and 3 tablespoons cold water; let stand for 2 minutes or until softened. In a small saucepan, bring ½ cup cream and liqueur to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat, and simmer for 1 minute. Add gelatin mixture, whisking to dissolve. Remove from heat; let stand for 10 minutes. In a large bowl, beat remaining 1½ cups cream at medium speed with a mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beating until stiff peaks form. With mixer running, slowly add gelatin mixture, beating until combined. Beat in almonds. Cover and chill for 4 hours, or refrigerate for up to 3 days.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, cook sugar and ¾ cup water over medium-high heat until mixture reaches 248° on a candy thermometer.

Categories     Desserts

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 cup unsalted butter, 2 sticks, room temperature
2 cups granulated sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3 large eggs, room temperature
2 tablespoons lemon zest
¼ cup lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole milk
nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
½ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup lemon juice
2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
3 tablespoons lemon juice
1 lemon, zested

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  • Make the cake: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder.
  • In a large bowl, cream the butter, sugar, and salt with an electric hand mixer until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating until fully incorporated before adding the next. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla and beat to combine.
  • Add half the flour and beat to combine, then beat in the milk, then add the rest of the flour and beat just until incorporated. Scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula and make sure any floury spots are incorporated.
  • Grease a 10-inch (25-cm) bundt pan with nonstick spray. Spoon the batter into the pan and smooth the top. Gently tap the pan against the counter to release any air bubbles.
  • Bake the cake for 50 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  • While the cake is baking, make the lemon glaze: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar and lemon juice. Microwave for 1 minute, stirring halfway through, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Set aside.
  • Make the lemon icing: Sift the powdered sugar into a medium bowl. Add the lemon juice and whisk until smooth.
  • After the cake is done baking, let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack set over a baking sheet and remove the bundt pan. Use a knife to loosen the cake around the edges, if needed.
  • Use a skewer or fork to poke holes all over the top and sides of the cake. Brush the cake with the lemon glaze. If the glaze drips off, let the cake cool for a few more minutes, then continue brushing on the glaze. Let cool completely, at least 1 hour.
  • Pour the icing over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Grate lemon zest over the icing. Let the glaze dry completely, about 30 minutes.
  • Transfer the cake to a serving platter, slice, and serve.
  • Enjoy!
