So, it was potluck time again at work. And that means one things... IT'S TIME TO BAKE!! The guest of honor was a good friend of mine so I asked her what kind of cake was her favorite. When she said lemon, I sprung into action and went right to my new cookbook, Martha Stewart Cakes.
I looked in the cookbook and found the 1-2-3-4 Lemon Cake. How can you not want to make this? It looks amazing.
After drooling over the picture, I took a look at the recipe. It looked complicated but it really was not! I ended up making it over the course of two different days due to my schedule. I made the lemon curd on Wednesday night and then the cakes on Thursday night. I put those layers together on Thursday night and had it sit in the fridge until serving time. Then right before, I added the whipped cream and the berries. I''m not one that usually eats what I bake (weird I know) but after many people told me how yummy it was, I just had to try it! Well, they were all correct. It was AMAZING.
Ps. This is what mine ended up looking like. As you can see, I only did two layers...
I will be making this cake again next weekend for Easter but will be making one major change... MORE LEMON CURD because it needs almost double what I made.
