We love anything with lemon and Edna’s lemon curd cake is a cake to love. Quick to put together and super easy to make. It’s a perfect little cake for afternoon tea. All lemony with a dense crumb that’s perfect for serving with a dollop of freshly whipped cream.
We came across this little winner on the net and immediately knew we had to bake it. Turns out Edna’s lemon curd cake is also called Belgium Lemon Curd Teacake published by the Australian Women’s Weekly magazine. Wherever it comes from we’re glad we discovered it.
A food processor makes the job come together in seconds and the mixture resembles a dough, rather than a pouring consistency cake batter. If you’ve got some lemon curd on hand you can whip this up in a few minutes and you’ve got to love that!
This is not a deep cake by any means. It’s more of a teacake, but it’s quick and delicious!
Lemon Curd
If you’ve never made lemon curd before our recipe is ridiculously easy and comes together quickly on the stove. It’s buttery and sweet with an intense lemon flavour. Lemon curd keeps for about two weeks in the refrigerator and it freezes well, just move the frozen curd into the fridge and allow it to thaw before using. Too easy!
Edna’s lemon curd cake keeps for a few days (if it lasts that long) and is best kept in a sealed container out of the refrigerator as the dough seems to harden when refrigerated. The cake freezes well for up to 3 months.
