Beautiful vanilla cake with a thick creamy decadant lemon filling. Top with a berry sauce..and you have hit a home run!
Ingredients:
1 french vanilla or white cake mix
sour cream
1 small tub mascarpone cheese
1 cup heavy whipping cream
juice of 2 lemons
zest of 1 lemon
1/2 cup white sugar.
Directions:
1. Prepare cake mix as directed, but leave out 1/2 cup of the water and replace it with 1/2 cup sour cream.
2. Bake in 2 round cake pans.(reg size)
3. Cool and remove.
4. This is easier to handle if you freeze the cake.
5. I use my kitchen-aid mixer, and mix the following.
6. 1 small tub mascarpone cheese
7. use the whipping beater, and mix for 30 seconds.
8. Add the sugar and the heavy whipping cream.
9. Mix until it gets fluffy...slowly ad the lemon juice and zest.
10. taste it..My husband likes it extra tart...add more lemon zest to taste.
11. Place the first layer of cake on a cake pan, then add filling in the middle, then add the 2nd layer of cake.
12. Top with powderd sugar through a sive just on the top!
13. Slice and eat..great with a drizzle of berry Ice-cream topping.
