Welcome summer with this quick and easy zingy lemon curd mini cake! Here's everything you need to make it,
Ingredients:
For the Lemon Curd:
- 100ml Coconut Milk/Fresh Cream
- 100g Sugar
- Juice from 3 limes
- ½ tbsp Lime zest
- 1 tbsp Cornflour
- Pinch of Salt
- Pinch of Turmeric (for colour)
- 1 tbsp Butter
- Splash of Vanilla
For the Vanilla Cake:
- 1 Plattered Real Bean Vanilla Cake Mix
- ¾ cup Buttermilk
- ½ cup Oil
For the Buttercream Frosting:
- Refer to our How to make Vanilla Buttercream recipe
Method:
- For the Lemon Curd, add the milk/cream, sugar, lime juice & zest, salt, cornflour and optionally turmeric to a saucepan on medium heat and stir till combined.
- Stir till it thickens, about 5-10mins, and let come to a boil.
- Turn off the heat and stir in the butter and vanilla.
- Transfer to a bowl or jar and cover with plastic wrap, allowing it to touch the lemon curd (this helps prevent a skin forming on the surface).
- While it cools, prepare the Vanilla Cake as per package instructions on our Real Bean Vanilla Cake Mix and bake in small well-greased cake tins (muffin moulds work just as well!).
- Once baked and cooled, decorate the cakes with Vanilla Buttercream in an outward spiral and add an extra spiral border on each cake to hold the Lemon Curd.
- Spoon in the Lemon Curd in this crevice and your mini Lemon Curd Cakes are ready!
P.S. Lemon Curd can be paired with toast, waffles, pancakes, ice-cream, layered in between cakes and many more ways!
