I created this cake some time ago, but I was thinking about making another one and discovered that I never posted about it. This cake is so easy to make. Of course you can make a cake from scratch if you want to, but I wanted mine to be easy, so I used a mix. The Lemon Cloud Cake would be perfect for a party or a shower.

Lemon Cloud Cake is gluten free. So easy to make, it is as delicious as it is beautiful.
Ingredients
- 1 box of your favorite gluten free cake mix. I used Betty Crocker Gluten Free White Cake Mix
- 2/3 cup lemon juice
- 1 stick butter or margarine
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon extract
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup gluten free flour
- 1 16 oz jar of Lemon Curd
- 1 pint heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon zest
Instructions
- Make the cake according to directions on the back of the box, except substitute the 1/3 cup lemon juice for part of the water, and add 1/4 cup sugar.
- Spray two 8″ or 9″ cake pans with olive oil spray, then coat the pans with gluten free flour.
- Divide the cake batter evenly between the two pans.
- Bake in a 350° oven for 25-35 minutes. Let the cake layers cool completely.
- Pour the heavy cream into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the vanilla and sugar. Beat on high speed with an electric mixer until the cream is thickened.
- Place one cake layer on a cake plate, top down.
- Spread 1/2 of the lemon curd on the layer, then spread half of the whipped cream over the lemon curd.
- Place the second layer top up on top on the first layer.
- Spread with the rest of the lemon curd and whipped cream.
- Sprinkle with lemon zest.
- Refrigerate until serving.

Hello Karen, how good to see you again! I love the yummy photos of the Lemon Cloud Cake. I would like to pass this recipe on to my friend on the next door farm, if you don’t mind. Greetings, Jo (South Africa)
Jo! Hi. I have been very lax with the blog lately. I still get tired easily, and sleep a lot. Too much sometimes, but it can not be helped. I am about “recouped” from my surgery 6 years ago as I am ever going to be, though.
Of course you can pass this recipe on! It is so easy, and tastes really good. Thank you for coming by.
I love lemon everything and this looks delicious.
