How to Make Lemon Fluff Layered Dessert
- **Prepare the Lemon Curd:** (If making from scratch, find a reliable recipe online or use a jarred option. This step is critical for flavor.)
- **Bake the Lemon Cake:** Prepare the cake mix according to package directions. Add the zest of two lemons to the batter. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- **Make the Lemon Meringue:** In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, one tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt.
- **Whip the Cream:** In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, beating until stiff peaks form.
- **Assemble the Dessert:** Slice the cooled cake into layers (3-4). In a trifle bowl or individual serving glasses, layer the ingredients in this order: cake, whipped cream, lemon curd, meringue, repeating the layers until all ingredients are used. End with a layer of meringue.
- **Chill and Garnish:** Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set. Garnish with fresh berries just before serving.
