  • 1 box (18.25 ounces) white cake mix
  • 1 cup (240ml) water
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) vegetable oil
  • 3 large eggs
  • Zest of 2 lemons

For the filling:

  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) fresh lemon juice
  • Zest of 1 lemon

For the frosting:

  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup (50g) powdered sugar
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Lemon slices or zest for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix, water, vegetable oil, eggs, and lemon zest. Mix until well combined.
  3. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
  5. Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Then, transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.
  6. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the filling. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Fold in the sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until well combined.
  7. Once the cakes are completely cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread the lemon cream filling evenly over the top of the cake layer.
  8. Place the second cake layer on top of the filling.
  9. To make the frosting, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and lemon zest, and continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
  10. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the whipped cream frosting.
  11. Garnish with lemon slices or zest, if desired.
  12. Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
