EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

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.

This cake is delicious and refreshing! I brought it to a house-warming party and everyone commented on how good it was. This was my first double-layer cake, but it was super simple to make.

This cake really IS refreshing! My husband is not a big fan of lemons, so I turned it into an Orange Mousse Cake. I substituted a 12-ounce jar of orange marmalade instead of the lemon curd. It was amazing!
