Ingredients:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup milk
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 2 lemons
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 cup lemon curd
- 1/2 cup crushed graham crackers
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour three 8-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.
- In another bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add to the creamed mixture alternately with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Beat just until combined.
- Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool in pans for 10 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
- In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add the powdered sugar and lemon juice, and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
- To assemble the cake, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a third of the lemon curd over the top. Spread a third of the whipped cream mixture over the lemon curd. Repeat with the second layer.
- Place the third layer on top, spread with the remaining lemon curd and whipped cream mixture. Sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the top.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 1 hour before serving.
