Anne Byrn's Lemon Lover's White Chocolate Cake image

This cake is out of this world! I got everyone hyped about it when I spoke of making it for my Mom's birthday. This recipe calls for store-bought lemon curd but I like to use Bev's Lemon Curd recipe!

Time 52m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 ounces white chocolate chips
1 (18 1/2 ounce) package white cake mix (I like Betty Crocker)
2/3 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
2 egg whites
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon lemon zest, grated
1/2 cup lemon curd (I use recipe 46378 - Lemon curd is for the filling)
6 ounces white chocolate chips
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, soft
1/4 cup butter, soft
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon lemon juice
3 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted (Important that you sift if you don't want lumps!)

Steps:

  • For the cake:.
  • Melt 6 oz of white chocolate chips in the microwave for about 2 minutes, stirring half way through.
  • Depending on the power of your microwave you may need more or less time.
  • Be sure to watch carefully so that the white chocolate doesn't burn.
  • Cool the white chocolate slightly.
  • Add to the remainder of the cake ingredients and mix well.
  • Pour into two 8-inch round cake pans which have been lined with greased aluminum foil.
  • Bake 28 to 32 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.
  • Allow to cool in pans for 10 minutes before turning out onto a rack to cool completely.
  • For the frosting:.
  • Melt the 6 oz white chocolate chips in the microwave using the same procedure as before.
  • Let cool slightly.
  • Meanwhile combine the rest of the ingredients.
  • Add the melted white chocolate.
  • Beat with a mixer until fluffy.
  • For the assembly:.
  • Spread one of the cooled cakes with lemon curd.
  • Place the second cake on top.
  • Frost the top and the sides of the cake.
  • I prefer to keep this cake refrigerated due to the cream cheese frosting.
