Soft and Fluffy Lemon Cake
A fluffy Lemon Cake recipe with a plush, lemon flavored crumb, a tart lemon curd filling, and an airy whipped cream cheese frosting.
RECIPE:
Ingredients
3 Tablespoons fresh lemon zest¹
⅓ cup fresh lemon juice 80ml, I usually need 3-4 lemons, zest your lemons before juicing
⅔ cup whole milk 160ml
½ cup vegetable or canola oil 118ml
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter softened (57g)
1 ¾ cup granulated sugar 350g
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 cups cake flour² see note to substitute all-purpose/plain flour (330g)
1 Tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
6 large egg whites³ room temperature preferred
¾ cup lemon curd³ 175ml
ICING⁴
4 oz cream cheese softened, but still slightly cool (use the brick-style, full-fat cream cheese, do not use the spreadable kind sold in tubs 113g)
1 cups powdered sugar divided (often called “icing sugar” outside the US, 125g)
3/4 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon salt
3/4 cups heavy cream cold (175ml)

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350F (175C) and prepare two 8” round cake pans by spraying with baking spray and lining the bottoms with parchment paper. Set aside.
Zest your lemons and set zest aside. Juice lemons until you have ⅓ cup of juice, whisk this with your milk and set aside.
In a large bowl using an electric mixer or in a stand mixer, beat together oil, butter, sugar, reserved lemon zest, and vanilla extract until completely combined.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt and whisk well.
Stirring by hand, gradually alternate adding the flour mixture and lemon/milk mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined after each addition (I start and end with the flour and add the flour mixture in 4 parts and the milk mixture in 3 parts).
Place egg whites in a separate clean, dry bowl, and beat on high speed with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form (see video or photo in post for a visual if needed).
Using a spatula, gently fold egg whites into cake batter until completely combined (don’t use your electric mixer at this point or you will over-beat the batter). Divide cake batter evenly into prepared pans and bake on 350F for 28-31 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Allow cakes to cool in pans for 10 minutes then run a knife around the edges to loosen cakes from pan and carefully invert onto cooling rack to cool completely.
Once cakes have cooled completely, prepare frosting.
ICING
Combine cream cheese, 1/2 cup (62g) powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt in a large bowl and use an electric mixer to beat together until creamy and smooth.
In a separate bowl, combine remaining (1/2 cup/62g) powdered sugar, and heavy cream. Beat with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form (mixture should be thick, billowy, and the same consistency as Cool Whip).
With mixer on low speed, stir together the cream cheese and whipped cream until completely combined.
Pipe a dam/border along the inside rim of one cooled layer of cake (see photo in post). Fill with lemon curd and spread evenly inside the dam.
Top with second layer of cake. Frost the entire cake with remaining frosting.
Keep cake refrigerated in an airtight container when not eating. Enjoy!
Notes
¹Be sure to avoid the pith, or white papery layer just above the lemon flesh, when zesting. The pith is bitter and will make your cake bitter.
²You may substitute all-purpose flour, you will need 2 ⅔ cup/330g of all purpose flour.
³Store-bought lemon curd will work, but I recommend making my homemade lemon curd. You would only need a half-batch for this recipe, BUT a whole batch uses 6 egg yolks. Since you need 6 egg whites for this cake, I recommend making a full batch and enjoying the second half on whatever you’d like!
⁴This recipe makes enough for a semi-naked cake covering. If you want to fully cover the cake or pipe designs decoratively on top of the cake as shown in the photos, I recommend increasing the recipe by 50% or even doubling.

Lemon Curd Recipe
This is the lemon curd recipe for you if you love lots of true lemon flavor and don’t like your curd too sweet. It's easy to make (no double boiler required) and is perfect for filling for cakes, tarts, and donuts. Don’t need lemon curd right now? No worries! You can make your curd and freeze it until you need it.
PRINTABLE RECIPE ►
RECIPE ►
8 ounces (227 g) (1 cup) lemon juice, About 6 large fresh lemons
2 Tablespoons (zest 1) lemon zest
6 ounces (170 g) (1 cup) granulated sugar, add 2 more ounces if you like sweeter lemon curd
5 egg yolks
1/4 teaspoon (1/4 tsp) salt
1 Tablespoon (1 Tbsp) cornstarch
4 ounces (113 g) (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
PRO-TIPS ►
1. Test the thickness of your curd by dipping the back of a spoon into your lemon curd and drag your finger across it. If it holds the shape without dripping off too quickly, it's done!
2. If you intend to use this as a cake filling, make sure to cook your lemon curd to at least 175º F. If you don’t, you could end up with runny lemon curd.
3. If your mixture is lumpy, you can strain it to remove any large pieces of zest, seeds, or curdled eggs.
4. Meyer lemons are not the same as regular lemons. You'll want to use regular lemons for this recipe. You can also use bottled lemon juice if needed, but fresh is best.
5. I used to always make curd with a bain-marie, but now I just use a large, wide, shallow sauté pan and whisk continuously and it works great. If you’re nervous about it, you can use a double boiler (or bain-marie). Start by placing about an inch of water in the bottom of a saucepan and bring it to a simmer (gentle bubbles) and place a heatproof bowl over the top of the pan. It’s a way to heat very gently so the chances of burning it are lower. If you use a bain-marie, you’ll have to cook your curd for about 20 minutes to get it to 170º F.
