Stephanie Alexander's Layered Lemon Curd Cake (MasterChef)

[Bathsheba]

Family and I have just had our curry and cake If you have me as a FaceBook friend you can view the photos of it cut and plated... and read my verdict. Essentially the cake was too creamy for me... not surprising given that it had 750ml of it in it. I thought I added enough zest but it could have done with a bit more. I just thought it needed a bit more kick. Anyhow... my main aim was to follow the recipe so that it "worked" ie didn't collapse like it did on Tv. That was achieved. Maybe using powdered gelatine was the key. If you make it then 2 teaspoons of powdered gelatine = 4 sheets.

haha, nice to know that DH & I weren't the only ones drooling over this cake.

I think I might give it a go as we love crepe cakes (I have done chocolate hazelnut crepe cake before)... but I'll probably add limoncello to the cream to break it up a bit if the zest wasn't enough...

Honestly Bath it was gorgeous you should be very proud!

Ta Rouge I haven't heard of Limoncello but I'll Google.

Don't get me wrong... i like cream... I add it to my coffee every day... but this was a bit too much. My family really liked the curd layer though.

Ooh, it looks fantastic. Must give it a go one day, just means another pan to buy. I have a 23cm, but not a 20cm springform.
