What is a good filling to put in a lemon cake?

If you love lemon use cooled lemon pie filling. Raspberry or a cream filling works well also.

You also can add a bit of lemon curd to your normal buttercream!

What is lemon curd?

lemon curd is fantastic! it's near the jellies in my grocery store. I usually fill lemon cakes with a layer of lemon curd, then raspberry and then curd again.

You can buy them from your supermarket, or you can make them. Not only lemon you can make, you can make it with any fruit you like, as raspberry, strawberry, mango, pineapple or nectarine. They are gorgeuos!

I suggest blueberry! or raspberry, but bluberry really rocks a lemon cake!

Good luck!

I like a lemon creme. I mix a bit of whip topping (Like Rich's) with lemon curd/lemon pie filling. It makes it sieze up a bit but is light and creamy. Love it. It is one of the bakeries top. You can do it with all the flavors. I also like the raspberry - lemon combo.

How do I make lemon curd?

At my cake testings I make mini cupcakes and have all of my fillings in seperate containers and most of the brides choose cream cheese icing or raspberry

3 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
4 lemons zested then juiced
1/2 cup butter
1 c water
2 TBLSP cornstarch
Use at least 1/3 cup lemon juice, add water if needed. Wisk in corn starch to juice and water. Bring to a simmer. Temper yolks by adding 1/2 mix to yolks then wisk into simmering mix. Cook until it coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat. Add the butter a bit at a time and the zest. Cover the surface of the curd with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming. Cool. You can substitute fruit to get the fruit curd you want, I use frozen raspberries.
