Yesss another <3 lemony baked good <3 !!! :D I made this cake and the previous one (Lemon layer cake with lemon curd) at the same day but I didn’t have time to post this any earlier. I was so busy with my last week in the latest course at school, which had me crazy with 2 exams in a week 8-}

This is the purrrfek choice for those who love lemon and yogurt. The cake can be served either after meals as dessert, or at breakfast, or brunch, or … anytime of the day :P It’s very easy to make, especially if you have someone help u grating the lemon zest n squeezing the juice :D (unfortunately I had to do everything myself – poor me!!!)

The Lemon Yogurt Cake recipe below is adapted from Ina Garten in the Barefoot Contessa show. (more…)

 

Lemon Layer Cake with Lemon Curd March 2, 2009

My mom actually wanted me to try making a cake with whipped cream so that I can learn myself how to work w whipping cream. At the same time I was very eager to do sth with lemon, so I decided to make this one. It didnt turn out absolutely perfect because I did not follow every-single requirement from the original recipe :P However, the final work still turned out great, not over-sweet, lovely tanginess from the lemon curd, creamy whipped cream. Oh just thinking about it makes me crave the cake again :( For those that prefer a sweeter taste, increase the amount of sugar for the lemon curd and the whipped cream ;)

The original recipe (Lemon layer cake with lemon curd and mascarpone) is from Bon Appétit, April 03 issue but I modified them a bit during the process. For example I didnt use any mascarpone, and I always use less than the required amount of sugar :P Here is the recipe that I used, not the original one. (more…)
