How to Make Lemon Cream Cake Olive Garden
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
- In a large bowl, combine 1 box (15.25 oz) white cake mix, 1 cup water, 1/3 cup vegetable oil, 4 large egg whites, 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon lemon zest.
- Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Pour batter into the prepared springform pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the cake cools, prepare the filling: In a medium bowl, beat 8 ounces cream cheese (softened) with 2 cups powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons lemon juice until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Prepare the crumb topping: In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (cold and cut into cubes), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
- Use a pastry blender or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Once the cake is completely cool, slice it horizontally into two layers.
- Drizzle each layer with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.
- Spread half of the lemon cream filling over the bottom layer. Top with the second cake layer and frost the entire cake with the remaining filling.
- Sprinkle the crumb topping evenly over the top and sides of the cake.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
