Steps:
- Whisk together egg yolks, granulated sugar, lemon zest and juice and cornstarch in a small heavy saucepan until combined. Cook mixture over medium, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until mixture is thick and coats the back of spoon, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat. Whisk in cold butter until melted and smooth.
- Pour mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a medium bowl; discard any lumps. Place bowl with strained lemon curd in a large bowl filled with ice water. Let stand, stirring often, until mixture is cool, about 20 minutes. Remove medium bowl from ice bath, and place a piece of plastic wrap directly on lemon curd (to prevent a film from forming).
- Cover and chill until curd is firm, at least 4 hours or up to 3 days.
(LEMON CURD) LEMON CHEESE FILLING AND ICING
My mother made the best layer cake with the Lemon Curd,filling and icing. I asked her once why she called it lemon cheese as it has no cheese in it. She replied that when you boil it (as it thickens) that it resembles cheese because of the holes that appear while it cooks. She used all yolks -no whites. I like the lightness...

Steps:
- 1. In a stainless steel bowl placed over a saucepan of simmering water, whisk together the eggs and sugar until well blended.
- 2. Then add the and lemon juice and blend with the sugar/egg mixture.
- 3. Cook; stirring constantly (to prevent it from curdling) until the mixture becomes thick. It will be the consistency of sour cream -or as Mama stated, until it looks yellow-orange and has holes like Swiss cheese. This will take approximately 10 minutes.
- 4. Remove from heat and immediately pour through a fine strainer to remove any lumps (If you only simmer it and stir constantly, you many not have lumps.).
- 5. Cut the butter into small pieces and whisk into the mixture until the butter has melted. Add the lemon zest and let cool. The lemon curd will continue to thicken as it cools.
- 6. Cover immediately (so a skin doesn't form). While still warm, spread filling between 4 layers of cake; Pour filling over top of cake and let it go down the sides of cake (Or you can use a different icing from the filling).
- 7. Use right away or refrigerate for up to a week. I am having this spooned over some fresh berries tomorrow night. Yummy!!
- 8. NOTE 1: ** ALWAYS USE FRESH LEMON JUICE - do not use the bottled lemon juice.NOTE 1:
- 9. NOTE 2: I find that removing the stringy white substance (that balances the yolk within the albumin) and whisking the eggs and sugar - BEFORE adding the lemon juice helps to attain a smooth consistency that usually eliminates lumps from forming -no lumps = no straining.
- 10. NOTE 3: You can store it in a air-tight jar in the refrigerator for up to 1 week (If you don't want to use it right away.) OR if you are good at canning, you can prepare it in canning jars and have the treat on hand all the time -also makes great gifts!
- 11. USING ONLY YOLKS: As I mentioned above, Mother used only yolks -this made for a darker yellowy-orange result. And the "holes" were more visible when cooking. I like it with and without the egg whites -but it is lighter (color and consistency) using both the yolks and whites. If you want to try it with just the yolks, use 6 large yolks.

- Pour the mixture into a 2 quart saucepan and cook over low heat until thickened (about 10 minutes), stirring constantly. The lemon curd will thicken at about 170 degrees F, or just below simmer. Remove from the heat and cool or refrigerate.

LEMON SWEET ROLLS WITH CREAM CHEESE ICING
These sweet, lemony rolls are a fresh alternative to classic cinnamon rolls. A little cardamom in the dough and filling enhances the bright citrus flavor without overtaking it. This dough is adaptable: You can let the dough rise in the refrigerator, instead of at room temperature, so you can serve fresh, warm rolls for breakfast without getting up at the crack of dawn to make them.

Steps:
- Make the dough: Combine the yeast, buttermilk and 1 tablespoon sugar and let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Add the butter, remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, lemon zest, salt and cardamom to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and mix on low to combine. Add the eggs and buttermilk mixture, and stir until combined.
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly add 4 cups/510 grams of the flour and stir until all of the flour is moistened. Switch to the dough hook, and mix for 5 more minutes. The dough will be soft and billowy, and it will stick to the bottom of the bowl. Add more flour if the dough seems very, very soft.
- Transfer the dough to a fresh, lightly oiled bowl. Turn the dough to coat it with oil, then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Alternately, refrigerate the dough before rising for up to 24 hours and proceed with the recipe as written. The rolls may need a slightly longer second rise.
- Make the filling: Combine the sugar, lemon zest, cardamom and a pinch of salt. Use your fingers to rub the lemon zest into the sugar.
- Assemble the rolls: Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with parchment paper and butter the pan and paper. Gently deflate the dough by folding it over itself a few times in the bowl. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and pat or roll it into a rectangle about 12-by-16-inches and 1/4-inch thick. Gently spread the soft butter over the dough, and sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over the top. Roll the dough into a tight log and use a serrated knife or length of floss to cut the log into 12 even pieces.
- Place the rolls into the prepared pan, cover, and let rise again until doubled in size, about 1 hour. You can also refrigerate the rolls before the second rise for up to 24 hours, if you'd like to bake them later. Let the rolls rise at room temperature until doubled in size before baking.
- Finish the rolls: Heat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the rolls are golden and cooked through. While the rolls are baking, make the icing: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar and lemon juice until smooth. The icing should be quite thick, but spreadable. Add a little more lemon juice if necessary.
- Let the rolls cool for about 5 minutes, then spread the icing over the top. Enjoy warm.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line the base of two 20cm sandwich tins with baking parchment. Beat the butter and sugar together for 3 mins using an electric whisk until smooth and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well between each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl. Fold in the flour and baking powder until well incorporated, then fold in the yogurt, vanilla and lemon zest. Divide between the tins and bake for 30-35 mins until golden and a skewer inserted into the middles comes out clean.
- Meanwhile, make the drizzle. Tip the sugar, lemon juice and 100ml water into a small pan set over a medium heat and stir until dissolved. Add the lemon zest, bring to the boil and simmer for 2-3 mins until the zest has softened and the liquid is syrupy. Remove the zest to a sheet of baking parchment using a slotted spoon, and remove the syrup from the heat.
- Leave the sponges to cool for 10 mins in the tins, then pour over the warm drizzle. Leave to cool completely.
- For the icing, beat the butter and icing sugar together using an electric whisk for 4-5 mins until smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as you go. Add the vanilla and soft cheese and beat for 4 mins more until thick and creamy. Don't worry if it doesn't look thick at first - it will loosen, then thicken again as you beat it.
- Remove the cooled sponges from the tins. Spoon the icing into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle. Put one sponge on a cake stand or serving plate, and pipe just under half the icing around the edge using a circular motion for a wavy effect. Pipe a little more icing over the empty middle (this doesn't need to be neat) and smooth with the back of a spoon. Chill for 45 mins-1 hr until set. Top with the second sponge, then pipe eight blobs of icing around the edge at regular intervals, leaving a gap between each. Spoon the candied lemon zest into each gap, then serve.
