Lemon layer cake for a crowd

11 July 2026 · 6 min read

Three light sponges, a sharp curd and cream cheese icing that holds its shape in a warm kitchen.

Weigh everything before you start; cake is chemistry with better outcomes.

Bake in three 20cm springform tins so the layers stay level and cool quickly.

Chill the assembled cake for thirty minutes before the final coat of icing.
