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.

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 10

Cake:
1 box white cake mix, plus ingredients to prepare as listed on box
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
Filling:
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, slightly softened
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 1/3 cups confectioners sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Milk Crumb Topping: recipe in Directions

Steps:

  • For the Cake: Prepare cake as directed on box, adding in the lemon juice and zest. Bake in 2 (9-inch) round cake pans for time listed on box. Cool completely on wire racks. For the Filling: In a medium mixing bowl and using a hand mixer, beat the cream cheese, confectioners sugar, and lemon juice together until smooth. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Using a spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into cream cheese mixture. Refrigerate until cakes are completely cool. Spread HALF the cream cheese filling on bottom cake layer; add other cake layer and spread rest of the filling on top. (You will need to increase the filling amounts to frost the sides of cake.) Sprinkle cooled crumb topping (recipe below) over the top of cake. Refrigerate for about 3 hours. At serving, sift confectioners sugar over the crumb topping, if desired. NOTES: 1. I used Pillsbury cake mix, using 2. One whole Jumbo egg and 2 jumbo egg whites 3. I used whipping cream for the filling but for a shortcut you may be able to substitute with full-fat Cool Whip 4. I made the homemade crumb topping below but you could just crumble shortbread cookies (such as Lorna Doone Shortbread cookies or Pepperidge Farm Chessman cookies) over the top instead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Milk Crumb Topping: 1/2 cup dry milk powder (I used non-fat) 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 2 tablespoons cornstarch 2 tablespoons sugar 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt 1/2 stick butter, melted Preheat oven to 250° F. Line a large baking sheet pan with parchment paper. Set aside. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the dry milk powder, flour, cornstarch, sugar, and salt. Add the melted butter and toss mixture together with a spatula, until it starts to come together and form small clusters. Spread clusters out on the prepared pan. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely before using on cake.

CRUMB TOPPED LEMON CREAM CAKE RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Crumb topped lemon cream cake Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by á-39535

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 package white cake mix, plus ingredients to prepare
1 package lemon cake mix
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 lemon, juiced
1 cup whipping cream
1 package cream cheese
1 cup powdered sugar
4 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Make the white cake according to the directions on the box, adding the sour cream and vanilla. Bake in a 10-inch round baking pan. Cool the cake completely. For the lemon cream filling, mix the cream cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest of half the lemon and whipping cream, mix until creamy and smooth. For the crumb topping, combine 3/4 cup of the lemon cake mix with the melted butter to make a crumb topping. To assemble the cake, cut the white cake in half so you can spread the lemon cream filling between the 2 layers of white cake. Frost the top of the cake with a thin layer of cream filling and sprinkle the crumb topping on top.

Tips:

  • Before you start baking, make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature. This will help them to blend together more easily and create a smooth batter.
  • Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best flavor. Bottled lemon juice and zest can be used, but they will not have the same bright, citrusy flavor as fresh lemons.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough and dense. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake in a preheated oven. This will help to ensure that the cake bakes evenly.
  • Don't overbake the cake. Overbaking can make the cake dry and crumbly. Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

This lemon cream cake with milk crumb topping is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. The cake is moist and flavorful, with a bright lemon flavor. The milk crumb topping is sweet and crunchy, and it adds a nice contrast to the tangy lemon cake. This cake is perfect for any occasion, and it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
