Ingredients

    2 cups self-raising flour
    1 cup Chelsea White Sugar
    100g butter
    2 eggs
    2 cups lemon curd

    Lemon Curd:
    4 large lemons
    100g butter
    2 cups Chelsea White Sugar
    4 eggs

Method

    Preheat oven to 180C.  Place flour, sugar and butter in a food processor and blend until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add eggs and mix to a soft dough. Press 2/3 of dough into a well-greased or baking-paper-lined 25 cm springform cake tin. Spread lemon curd over dough and crumble small pieces of remaining dough over curd layer. Bake for 35-40 minutes at 180C. Cool on a wire rack.

    Dust with icing sugar and serve with whipped cream. Extra lemon curd can be served as a sauce.

    Lemon Curd:
    Finely grate lemon rind and squeeze the juice of the lemons. Place in a bowl, add butter and sugar. Place bowl over a saucepan of hot water and heat until the butter has melted. In a separate bowl beat the eggs and add to lemon mixture stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Cool.

This is a great cake, easy to make and tastes amazing.

This is an easy yet delicious cake thanks for sharing

The only one that I have enjoyed baking n eating ….

Could you add 3/4 cup of Greek Honey Yogurt to recipe to make it moist as some said the bottom of cake was a bit dry

Tasty but better with improvements. Like others suggested I added an extra egg and 25g more butter. I checked the cake at 30mins and it was already done, it was quite dry to eat but delicious. My oven tends to run cold too.

I also added a little rind to the mix and did my mum's lemon curd that's cornflour, caster sugar, juice, yolks and butter.

Great recipe!! Although i would advise putting an extra egg in the cake (and you only need one piece). I will definitely make this cake again!!!

Amazing cake, so delicious. Turned out perfect

Amazing recipe! Made it for my mothers' birthday and she absolutely loved it!

So quick and easy to make . Lemon curds was already made so this made us super simple. Went down well with the family. Great way to use all the lemons on my trees.

Love this cake so yummy with runny cream

Chef here, ran out of bought in cakes, had to make my own, opted for a lemon curd sponge and a special recipe sticky date, i got slammed for lunch split my butter mix. Ended up with clarified butter and ghee...(Oh Gee). Decided to risk it and whisk the butters back together and add the egg to my surprise, it didnt scramble and it worked even after ruining the butter.
Thanks for saving me. desserts arent my speciality.
Tastes absolutely awful! But i dont do well with lemons (So its actually perfect ;) ) well done.

Delish! I also heeded the advice of the other reviewers and added an extra egg and more butter. I also scattered fresh raspberries over my Meyer lemon curd. It’s such a pretty and fragrant cake! Thanks for a lovely recipe

The best for those who love citrus things in life. Delish.

Lemon curd took far too long to thicken, so I added 2 more egg yolks. Tasted lovely

It's my first time baking and this recipe was easy to follow. I was nervous how it would turn out and taste. OMG! It taste absolutely divine. I don't have a food processor nor a hand mixer so I mixed it by hand. I also added 1 more egg & 25g butter as seen in the reviews and I think it made a big difference

Absolutely delicious! Added about 25 grams butter and 1 egg extra to the mix because it seemed a bit dry. I will make this all the time!!!

Mine just turned into a giant biscuit!!! What did I do wrong????

Loved the cake, I was given a bottle of Barkers Lemon Curd so I used that it was lovely, definitely will be making it again ....a huge hit

So yummy! I found the lemon curd really tricky it just wouldn't work! so I substituted it for fresh raspberries and blueberries and it was delicious!

A very easy recipe to make and tastes divine.

Hi, I am a little confused about the curd lemon - is it for the sauce or for add the cake as same time to bake? Thank
CHELSEA: Hi, the curd is spread over the dough, then baked. Enjoy

Loved the curd, bottom part of the cake was a little dry but otherwise delicious
