Lemon Velvet Cream Cake image

A Betty Crocker recipe that starts with a boxed mix to simplify it. I used a lemon curd recipe for a filling and to make it more special. Whip cream and cream cheese makes for a wonderful frosting

Time 50m

Yield 1 8, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (15 ounce) box lemon cake mix
1 tablespoon milk
8 ounces cream cheese
1 tablespoon lemon zest, grated
2 cups whipping cream
2/3 cup powdered sugar
1 lemon twist, if desired

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Grease bottoms only of two 8- or 9-inch round cake pans with shortening (do not use cooking spray).
  • Make, bake and cool cake as directed on box for 8- or 9-inch rounds. Refrigerate layers 45 minutes for easier handling.
  • Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat cream cheese, milk and 1 tablespoon lemon peel with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Beat in whipping cream and powdered sugar. Beat on high speed, scraping bowl occasionally, until stiff peaks form.
  • Slice each cake layer in half horizontally to make a total of 4 layers. (To cut, mark side of cake with toothpicks and cut with long, thin knife.) Fill each layer with 1/2 cup whipped cream mixture. Frost side and top of cake with remaining whipped cream mixture. Garnish with additional lemon twist. Store covered in refrigerator.
