Zubereitung von Dr Lori's Lemon Curd Mousse Cake

  1. Prepare the cake layers according to your favorite recipe (or use store-bought for convenience).
  2. Make the lemon curd: Whisk together 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup cornstarch, and a pinch of salt in a medium saucepan. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of fresh lemon juice and 1/2 cup of water. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and boils. Remove from heat and stir in 6 large egg yolks, one at a time, whisking vigorously. Stir in 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces. Strain the curd through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl. Cover the surface directly with plastic wrap to prevent a skin from forming, and chill completely.
  3. Make the mousse: In a large bowl, beat 2 cups heavy cream until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of the chilled lemon curd, 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon lemon zest until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the lemon curd mixture until just combined.
  4. Assemble the cake: Layer one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread half of the lemon curd over the cake layer. Top with half of the mousse. Repeat with the remaining cake layer, lemon curd and mousse. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the cake to set.
  5. Before serving, dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh lemon zest or berries (optional).
