Selam everybody...Merhaba from Turkey.
As my promise before to post my cake with lemon curd filling (and as topping too). It's Steamed lemon cake. Actually this cake is order/ request from my friend for her husband's B'day. So I'm sorry I can not post picture when cake being cut...
But anyway, it's great lemon cake ever (My friends and her family said so)... the moist lemon cake (because I steamed it), combine with yummy lemon curd between 3 layers plus on topping... hmmm.. I'm thinking to make it again for my self @(^_^)@

ReplyDeleteThis looks absolutely fantastic. I've been waiting for you to post it and now I can't wait to make it. I have to admit that I did scroll through first thing to see if I could find a cut-into piece, then read that you didn't take a picture of that. So, yes, you have to make one for yourself so you can show us what it looks like on the inside!
