Video Luscious Lemon Curd Layer for Cakes: Easy No-Fail Recipe
Try this delightful lemon layer for your cakes and desserts. Combine sugar, freshly grated lemon zest, eggs, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Heat the mixture on medium, stirring until thickened but careful not to overheat. Once done, cool it down and cover to prevent a skin from forming. Whip room temperature butter until light and fluffy, then gradually incorporate the cooled lemon mixture. Pour this creamy lemon filling into a parchment-lined mold and freeze for a few hours for a perfect, smooth layer, or use it fresh to layer your cakes for an irresistible lemony touch. This lemon layer pairs fantastically with dark chocolate, creating a balance of flavors that's absolutely delicious.
