Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Make, bake and cool cake as directed on box for two 8-inch or 9-inch round pans.
  • 2
    In chilled medium bowl, beat whipping cream and powdered sugar with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold in lemon curd and lemon peel.
  • 3
    Place 1 cake layer, rounded side down, on serving plate. Spread with 1 cup of the lemon mixture to within 1/4 inch of edge. Top with second layer. Frost side and top of cake with remaining lemon mixture. Store loosely covered in refrigerator.

  • If you can’t find lemon curd in the jams and jellies section of your supermarket, use 3/4 cup canned lemon pie filling instead. The only difference is the mousse will be slightly softer.
  • Top this luscious cake with thin slices of lemon and fresh raspberries.
  • Lemon curd is a rich, tart custard made with sugar, lemon juice, lemon peel, butter and eggs. Although you can make it from scratch, it’s much easier to pick up a jar in the jams and jellies section of the supermarket.
