This cake was a disappointment. The angel food cake was dry and the lemon curd filling was too tart. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still a good recipe. I would recommend using less sugar in the lemon curd filling.

I was a bit skeptical about making this cake because I'm not a huge fan of lemon desserts, but I was pleasantly surprised. The cake was light and airy, and the lemon curd filling was just the right amount of tartness.
