INGREDIENTS:
Cake1 18.25-ounce box Betty Crocker white cake mix
1-1/4 Cups water
1/3 Cup vegetable oil
3 egg whites
Lemon Cream Filling
8 Ounces cream cheese, softened
2 Cups powdered sugar
4 Teaspoons lemon juice
1 Cup heavy whipping cream
Vanilla Crumb Topping
1/2 Cup all purpose flour
1/2 Cup powdered sugar
1/4 Cup cold butter
1/2 Teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish
powdered sugar
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Prepare cake following the directions on the box. Pour the
batter into a greased 10-inch cake pan or springform pan. Bake
at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes. Allow cake to cool
completely.
2. Make lemon cream filling by mixing cream cheese and powdered
sugar in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Mix
in lemon juice.
3. Whip cream in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high
speed until stiff peaks form. Fold whipped cream into cream
cheese mixture.
4. Make crumb topping by combining flour and powdered sugar in a
medium bowl. Add butter and vanilla extract. Use pastry cutter
or your hands to mix cold butter into the flour and sugar. Cut
in butter until mixture is crumbly - a not so even mixture of
little and larger lumps of flour and sugar covered butter. You
want a very crumbly consistency with pieces no bigger than a
pea. Keep topping refrigerated until you are ready to use it.
5. After cake has cooled, slice it in half through the middle
and remove the top. Spread all but 1/2 cup of the lemon cream
mixture onto the bottom half of the cake, then carefully replace
the top half of the cake.
6. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup of cream filling over the top
and sides of the cake. Sprinkle the crumb topping on top of the
cake and press it onto the sides of the cake.
7. Chill the cake for at least 3 hours before serving. Serve
cake slice topped with powdered sugar tapped through a stainer.
Serves 12.
