LEMON VELVET CREAM CAKE RECIPE - BETTYCROCKER.COM
The four layers of rich and velvety lemon cake in this spring dessert are impressive, but the real star of this citrusy stunner is the silky-smooth homemade frosting. Tucked between each tier and wrapped along the outside of the cake, one lick of the frosting taste and you’ll quickly understand why this lemon velvet cake is so popular. The satiny spread is made from a combination of cream cheese and whipping cream, sweetened with powdered sugar and grated lemon peel. The tangy flavor of the luxurious frosting paired with the moist lemon velvet cake base is what makes this showstopper a popular fan-favorite.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Grease bottoms only of two 8- or 9-inch round cake pans with shortening (do not use cooking spray).
- Make, bake and cool cake as directed on box for 8- or 9-inch rounds. Refrigerate layers 45 minutes for easier handling.
- Meanwhile, in large bowl, beat cream cheese, milk and 1 tablespoon lemon peel with electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Beat in whipping cream and powdered sugar. Beat on high speed, scraping bowl occasionally, until stiff peaks form.
- Slice each cake layer in half horizontally to make a total of 4 layers. (To cut, mark side of cake with toothpicks and cut with long, thin knife.) Fill each layer with 1/2 cup whipped cream mixture. Frost side and top of cake with remaining whipped cream mixture. Garnish with additional lemon twist. Store covered in refrigerator.

- When cake is cool, make the icing: Add lemon juice and icing sugar to a bowl and whisk together until smooth, adding a bit more juice if necessary, just until the icing moves when you tilt the bowl. Pour over the cake and gently spread out. The blueberries on the top of the cake may bleed into the icing a little, but this will add to the look. Let icing set (about 30 minutes), slice and serve.
