Luscious Lemon Truffle Cake
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the lemon zest and lemon juice. Gradually add the flour mixture, alternating with the buttermilk and vanilla extract.
-
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped white chocolate. Stir until smooth and let it cool for 10 minutes.
-
Once the cake has cooled, cut it horizontally into two layers. Spread lemon curd on the bottom layer and place the top layer back on. Pour the white chocolate ganache over the cake, allowing it to drip down the sides. Let the ganache set for 1-2 hours.
-
Before serving, dust the cake with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh berries.
