\u00a0<\/p>\n

For the final May bake from Baking with Dorie<\/i> by Dorie Greenspan, I made the Lemon Meringue Layer Cake.\u00a0 This is truly a labor of love, but totally worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n

I should say at the beginning that I highly recommend making the candied lemon slices.\u00a0 They add such an intense pop of lemon to each piece of cake, that it’s not to be missed.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because this cake requires multiple steps, I prepped each step in advance so that the process went very smoothly.\u00a0 I chose to make one-third of the recipe, so my calculations were written out ahead of time and I used a 6-inch cake pan, which was precisely one-third of the batter volume.\u00a0 I made the lemon soaking syrup, the lemon cream, followed by the cake.\u00a0 After the cake had cooled, I whipped up the meringue butter cream frosting while the cake had a brief visit to the freezer to set the lemon cream, then assembled the cake.\u00a0 I let the cake chill overnight, making the candied lemon slices in the morning.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n


\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I love anything lemon, so this was a truly delicious treat. I would definitely consider serving it to guests, especially since it can be prepared the day before.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n


\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My lemons were freshly harvested from my backyard tree, which is loaded with especially tasty lemons.<\/span><\/p>\n

All in all, a great dessert.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stop by the Tuesdays with Dorie website<\/a> to see how the other bakers fared. \u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
