This gooey lemon butter cake is the ultimate lemon dessert! Tender lemon cake is baked with a layer of lemon cream curd on top. The curd sinks into the cake as it bakes, creating a super moist lemon cake with a puddle of creamy lemon curd on top. It tastes just as good as it looks and sounds\u2026if not better!<\/strong><\/p>\n

What is gooey lemon butter cake?<\/h2>\n

The inspiration for this recipe came from classic gooey butter cake. If you\u2019ve never tried it, it\u2019s essentially a thin and dense cake baked with a layer of cream cheese and butter on top.<\/p>\n

Basically, it\u2019s sweet ooey gooey goodness. But for this lemon version, I wanted to create something that was more of a mash up between fluffy lemon cake and rich lemon bars.<\/p>\n

To do so, the base is made up of a lemon cake that isn\u2019t too dense or too light. It\u2019s able to hold the weight of the topping while also baking all the way through.<\/p>\n

The topping was the trickiest part because it kept overpowering the cake which made it difficult to set and cook through. But through the power of testing, this cake is now just right!<\/p>\n

It bakes with a super tender and moist fresh lemon cake with a layer of rich and smooth lemon cream on top. The cream bakes into a creamy and pudding-like consistency that melts in your mouth.<\/p>\n

Both layers are baked with fresh lemon, which means the entire dessert is bursting with zesty lemon flavor. It pairs perfectly with the rich cake and creamy topping.<\/p>\n

How to make lemon butter cake<\/h2>\n

Not only is this cake a major crowd pleaser, but it\u2019s also really easy to make! Just spread and pour into a pan, bake, chill, and it\u2019s done. But to ensure it turns out just right, here are my top tips:<\/p>\n

Lemon Cake<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Flour<\/strong> \u2013 I say this for every recipe, and especially cake. If possible, weigh the flour rather than measure by cups. This is the most accurate way of baking. If a kitchen scale isn\u2019t available, gently spoon the flour into a measuring cup and level it off with a flat edge. This prevents the flour from packing down into the cup, creating a tough and dry cake. <\/li>\n
  2. Butter<\/strong> \u2013 For the best flavor, I suggest using quality butter like cultured European style. Of course this isn\u2019t mandatory, but it does give the cake tons of flavor. Also make sure the melted butter has cooled before use.<\/li>\n
  3. Lemons<\/strong> \u2013 Don\u2019t skip on the zest and definitely use fresh lemon juice! It has a much stronger and true flavor and it\u2019s not as tart as packaged lemon juice. <\/li>\n
  4. Mixing<\/strong> \u2013 The batter is mixed by hand, so it\u2019s difficult to over mix. In any case, stop mixing right when the flour disappears. If the cake batter is over worked, it will likely struggle to bake all the way through.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Lemon Cream<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Cream Cheese<\/strong> \u2013 First and foremost, make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature before use. If not, the cream will turn out lumpy with clumps of cream cheese throughout. Second, I highly recommend Philadelphia block cream cheese as it has the best consistency and flavor out of any other cream cheese I\u2019ve tried.<\/li>\n
    2. Mixing<\/strong> \u2013 Mix in the powdered sugar one cup at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next. The sugar helps smooth and thin out the cream cheese which helps when mixing in the egg after.<\/li>\n
    3. Egg<\/strong> \u2013 Speaking of, use a room temperature egg. If the egg is too cold, it could freeze up some of the cream cheese.<\/li>\n
    4. Pouring<\/strong> \u2013 Pour the cream into the center of the spread lemon cake batter. It\u2019s thin enough to where it will naturally spread out to the edges. It does not have to touch the sides of the pan, but it should nearly cover the entire surface of the cake.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \"close\"close<\/figure>\n

      How to tell when lemon butter cake is done<\/h2>\n

      The toothpick test doesn\u2019t work here as it will pick up the wet cream topping on the way out. To tell that it\u2019s done, look at the surface of the cake.<\/p>\n

      The cream should form a dry and golden skin with small cracks around the edges. The cake will also have a golden ring around the edge and be slightly puffed in the center. <\/p>\n

      Chilling lemon butter cake<\/h2>\n

      This part is ESSENTIAL to the process, as chilling the cake allows the cream to set. The cake will rest for about 30 minutes at room temperature and then it\u2019s chilled uncovered for a least 2 hours.<\/p>\n

      Serving gooey lemon butter cake<\/h2>\n

      This cake can be served straight from the refrigerator, but I like it to soften up at room temperature for about 30 minutes before eating. This allows the cake to loosen up so each bite just melts in your mouth.<\/p>\n

      How to store lemon cake<\/h2>\n

      Keep the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to a week!<\/p>\n
