Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line the bottom of 2 round (9 inccake pans with parchment paper.
- Separate the eggs, putting the whites in one bowl and the yolks in another.
- Beat the whites using a whisk attachment on a standing mixer or a hand held mixer until foamy. Gradually pour in half of the sugar. Mix the whites on high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In the other bowl with the yolks, add the remaining sugar and use the same whisk attachment to beat the yolks until they are pale and fluffy.
- Combine the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract and lemon zest in a bowl or cup. Set aside.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold the egg whites into the egg yolks, being careful not to deflate the batter as much as possible.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt over the folded eggs and gently fold in the batter.
- When there are still some remaining streaks of flour, pour in the milk and butter mixture into the batter by the side of the bowl. Continue gently folding until evenly distributed.
- Divide the batter in half, pouring into the prepared cake pans.
- Bake in the preheated oven until they are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 20-25 minutes.
- Cool on a wire rack.
- Meanwhile, prepare the limoncello syrup and the frosting.
- Make a simple sugar by heating the sugar and water in a small pot until sugar dissolves and add the limoncello. Set aside to cool.
- In a standing mixer with a paddle attachment or using a hand mixer, mix the cream cheese and powdered sugar until evenly mixed, smooth and fluffy. Add the lemon zest, vanilla extract and limoncello.
- Add the mascarpone cheese. You can just fold in the mascarpone cheese with a rubber spatula, since it's soft enough or mix with the mixer just until combined, about 30 seconds.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until fluffy and stiff peaks form. You can do this by hand using a whisk or use a hand held mixer or a standing mixer.
- Using a rubber spatula, fold in the whipped cream into the frosting until evenly mixed.
- Cut each cake in half horizontally.
- Using a serrated knife, make a small cut all around the outside of the cake. This will keep your knife on the same level as you are cutting across. Continue cutting deeper into the cake until you have cut all the way through.
- Another trick I use when decorating cakes is to line the serving plate all around the edge with aluminum foil so that the edge of the cake is overlapping the aluminum foil by about 1/2 inch. This will catch all the drips and crumbs, leaving your serving plate neat and clean. When you're done decorating just carefully pull the aluminum foil out.
- Using a pastry brush, brush the top and bottom of each layer with the limoncello syrup.
- Put a dollop of frosting in the center of the cake plate, which will help to hold the cake in place. Place the first cake layer in the center of the cake plate and generously spread the cake layer with frosting, all the way to the edges.
- Place the second cake layer on top of the frosted cake layer. Spread the lemon curd evenly over the surface of the cake, all the way to the edges. You can use more or less lemon curd, depending on how sweet and "lemony" you want the cake to be.
- Place the third cake layer on top of the lemon curd layer and generously spread the cake layer with frosting, all the way to the edges.
- Top with the last layer and this time frost the sides and the top of the cake. Carefully pull out the aluminum foil from underneath the edges of the cake and discard.
- You will have enough frosting left over to pipe a border all the way around the cake too. I piped a border all the way around the edges of the cake and added a few swirls in the center too. I used my favorite Wilton 1M piping tip.
- I also grated white chocolate on top of the cake as well as lemon zest and a thin lemon slice in the center of the cake.
- The cake should be chilled in the refrigerator for at least 2-4 hours before serving, or overnight. The cake can be made 2 days in advance, completely assembled and stored in the refrigerator, covered.
- Before serving, let the cake stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes, for the best taste and texture.
REFRESHING LIMONCELLO CAKE
This is a perfect ending to an Italian dinner! A favorite of my family's, this recipe was born as we were trying to figure out how to incorporate our bottles of imported limoncello into a yummy dessert. It's our adult twist on the always refreshing lemonade cake (and surprisingly guilt-free!).

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare an 8-inch cake pan with cooking spray.
- Whisk together the yogurt, eggs, canola oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, and 4 tablespoons limoncello in a large bowl. In a separate large bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gently stir the dry ingredients into the wet. Do not over mix or the cake will be tough. Pour batter into prepared pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
- Stir the powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons of limoncello together in a small bowl until smooth. Poke small holes all over the top of the still-warm cake with a fork or toothpick. Spoon the glaze over the cake and spread with the back of a spoon. The glaze will seep into the cake and add moisture.

LIMONCELLO CREME CAKE
Lemon heaven for lemon lovers. That's how we'd describe this cool and creamy limoncello cake. Each bite of this cake is bursting with lemon. This is fancy restaurant quality and isn't a dessert that can just be thrown together. There are a lot of steps but it's well worth the effort. The cake is simple and starts with a cake mix base. Brushing the baked cake with lemon simple syrup adds moisture to the cake. The homemade lemon curd is the base for a light and creamy mascarpone mousse that's full of lemon flavor. Follow Kathleen's directions and you'll have a wonderful cake that's perfect for special occasions.

Steps:
- LEMON CURD: (Make Ahead) Roll room temperature lemons to loosen the juice inside. Then zest 7-8 lemons using a fine grater. Cut lemons and use a strainer to strain seeds from juice as you squeeze into a bowl.
- Separate the 8 egg yolks and reserve 3 whites for the cake.
- In the top of a double boiler, mix egg yolks, sugar, the 2/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, and the lemon zest from all of the lemons.
- Bring the double boiler to simmer and keep it there. Simmer and whisk constantly. Both the temperature and the whisking are necessary to prevent curdling. Simmer and whisk 10 minutes in this fashion until it becomes a thick pudding-like consistency.
- Remove from heat and whisk in lemon extract. Add butter.
- Whisk until it dissolves completely.
- For a smooth lemon curd, strain the curd to remove the zest. You can leave it, though. I leave it in because I like the slight chewiness one gets from the zest.
- Once the curd is strained, it's nice and smooth like pudding.
- Pour into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap touching the curd to prevent a skin from forming. Place bowl in the refrigerator to cool completely. This will be used to make the mascarpone mousse. (My curd makes around 2 cups, and whatever the recipe makes, I use it ALL in the mousse.)
- CAKE: (Can bake the cake a day ahead.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut parchment paper to fit the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan. Spray cooking spray onto the pan. Place parchment paper in the bottom, and then spray paper too. Dust slightly with some dry cake mix.
- Mix pudding mix and cake mix. Then add 3 egg whites, 2 tablespoons of oil, and 1 1/3 cup of water until the cake mix is moist. Mix 2 minutes (according to package directions).
- Pour into springform pan. Place this into a larger roasting pan in case of leaking.
- Place into the oven for 30-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before removing springform sides.
- After removing springform sides, place the cake in the freezer for cooling. If baking the night before, I place it into the refrigerator and then place it into the freezer for about 2 hours the morning before I assemble the cake.
- LEMON MASCARPONE MOUSSE: (Should also be made several hours before assembling to help the mousse set up before assembling.) Whip mascarpone until smooth. Continue to beat while adding sugar and lemon extract.
- Check to see that sugar is dissolved. Then continue to beat while adding lemon curd. (If you stop beating while adding these ingredients, the acid of the lemon could curdle the mascarpone.)
- Add limoncello while beating. When it's smooth, chill in the refrigerator. (I do not remove all of the zest caught in the beaters or wire whip. There will still be some in the mousse.)
- LIMONCELLO SOAKING LIQUID: Combine water, sugar, and lemon zest in a saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring consistently until sugar is completely dissolved. Bring the heat up to medium-high and bring the syrup to a boil.
- Remove the pan from heat and let sit for 2 minutes. Strain the liquid to remove lemon zest.
- Stir in the limoncello and the lemon extract. Keep the syrup covered until ready to assemble the cake.
- TO ASSEMBLE THE CAKE: Remove cooled cake from the freezer. Using a bread knife, carefully split layer into two layers, cutting all of the way through. Remove top layer, carefully, to wax paper with the cut side up. Carefully, loosen the bottom of the springform pan from the bottom layer by sliding knife or spatula between parchment paper and pan bottom. Then slide cake onto a cake plate with the cut side up.
- Using a pastry brush or a spoon, put limoncello soaking liquid on each layer. (This is why I use the springform pan and cut the layers instead of using two or three round cake pans. The cut layers really allow the liquid to absorb into the cake.)
- Using half of the mascarpone mousse on the layer of cake on the cake plate, smooth it out, and then place it into the freezer until well set. If you rush this, the mousse will squeeze out when the other layer is placed upon it. Return other layers to the freezer also.
- Carefully, place the top layer onto the frosted bottom layer.
- Spread mousse along the top of the cake. You can frost the sides of the cake if you want, but I do not always do that.
- Grate white chocolate on top of the mascarpone mousse. Chill cake for several hours. It takes a while for the mousse to firm up and it's even better the day after it's assembled.
- GARNISHES: When slicing, you may garnish with fresh mint and a lemon slice. Or, it looks really great garnished with a raspberry and some raspberry sauce.
- NOTE: This can be made alcohol free by omitting the limoncello in the mousse, by increasing the sugar in the soaking liquid, and using lemon juice instead of limoncello.
LIMONCELLO CAKE RECIPE
This Limoncello Cake is supremely moist, delightfully easy and just bursting with bright lemon flavor. This moist and fluffy cake with a blend of citrusy, yet sweet vanilla flavors all drizzled with a limoncello glaze is seriously spectacular! Enjoy with your morning coffee, serve it with a tray of tea for an afternoon treat, or as dessert with after dinner drinks.

- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the inside of 2 nine inch cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper and butter that as well. Dust with flour being sure to tap out the excess. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and sugar. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients. To the well add the yogurt, limoncello, lemon zest, lemon juice, melted butter and eggs. Use a whisk to combine the wet ingredients in the well. Switch to a rubber spatula and fold the dry ingredients in to the wet ingredients being careful not to overmix. Divide the batter evenly in the 2 prepared pans and spread to cover the pan. Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or until light, golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow to cook for 10 minutes in the pan before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, mascarpone, limoncello and powdered sugar. Using a handheld mixer, beat on medium speed, starting on low, until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes.
- When the cakes are cooled completely, place one layer of cake on a plate or cake stand. Place 1/4 of the frosting on the cake and spread evenly all the way to the sides using a small offset spatula. Place the other layer of cake on top and press gently. Spoon all the frosting on the top and spread evenly pushing the frosting over the edge and spreading it around the sides. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Decorate with thinly sliced lemons if desired. Allow to temper at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.
