I tried this cake for my birthday yesterday and it was absolutely DELICIOUS!! The cake was so fluffy and moist that my family thought I watered the cake with syrup and didn’t believe me when I said I didn’t . I mixed blueberries with the cake batter to get a lemon/blueberry cake and filled it with lemon curd and blueberry jam and it was phenomenal! . 100% recommend this cake and I’ll absolutely make it again 🤌❤️

The eggless lemon curd recipe is to die for. I made it and my kids and I ate it before the cake was ready! So I had to make another batch. It’s like candy!!! Sooooooo good!! Love that it’s eggless!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Made this a few days back. Fantastic recipe. Thanks so much for sharing. The addition of lemon curd is a stroke of genius. Have to say I did have some issues getting the icing to combine well and remain emulsified. I had to take a small amount and incorporate an egg yolk, then gradually work the rest into this base. But ultimately a great result.
