Easy Lemon Layer Cake

August 5, 2014 by Sarah Trivuncic 12 Comments

This easy lemon layer cake recipe can be whipped up in no time at all.

Do you have time to peek at a cake I made for Great British Chefs recently?

I was really up against the clock for my time is short during school holidays when Ted is off.

Excuse the clock puns for this piece of work was celebrating a new crockery range for Cath Kidston.

You can read the recipe and see more pictures of my work both on the Great British Chefs and Cath Kidston websites.

I was inspired by my recent post on naked wedding cakes to present this as a bare cake with edible decoration. I really am of a mind that sugarpaste is officially over.

    This looks gorgeous and very elegant with the simple topping, I’ve never really been a big fan of sugar paste and even my sugar paste loving bloke is now more in favour of buttercream, shame he’s not really much of a lemon fan though!

    Wow, I am not a cakey person and I am always put off by cakes with a lot of yucky stuff on the top for the sake of decoration, this is simply beautiful. Oh by the way I make a mean tarte au citron :))
