Provided by rmulleni

Number Of Ingredients 16

CAKE:
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup limoncello or lemon-flavored liqueur
zest and juice of one lemon
white chocolate shavings to garnish
FROSTING:
16-ounces mascarpone cheese, about 2 cups
1 1/4 cups lemon curd
2 cups chilled whipping or heavy cream
2/3 cups powdered sugar

Steps:

  • CAKE: Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 2 (9-inch) round cake pans and line with parchment paper. Grease and flour the parchment paper. Mix the limoncello, lemon juice, and lemon zest together and set aside. In a bowl, whisk flour, baking soda, and salt until well combined and set aside. Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time. Add flour alternately with buttermilk and limoncello mixture. Bake cakes for 20 to 25 minutes. Cool completely in pans. Once cool, remove from pans. Place the first layer on serving plate. Frost top with 1/3 frosting. Place the second layer on top. Frost with half of the frosting. Use remaining frosting to frost the sides of the cake and decorate the top with optional white chocolate shavings. FROSTING: Cream together mascarpone cheese and lemon curd. Whip cream to medium peaks (about the same texture as thawed Cool Whip, stiffer than soft peaks), then slowly add the powdered sugar to the whipped cream until it's fully incorporated. Fold cheese mixture into whipped cream and mix until completely combined.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I had to substitute almond flour for the all-purpose flour. The cake still turned out great!

This cake was a disaster! The frosting was too runny and the cake was dry. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste, but the frosting is amazing. I would definitely make it again with less sugar.
