Categories     dessert

Time 1h27m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 extra-large whole eggs
3 extra-large eggs, separated
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (4 lemons)
Kosher salt
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup good bottled lemon curd, at room temperature
Sweetened Whipped Cream, recipe follows
Sliced lemon, for garnish
1 cup cold heavy cream
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Steps:

  • In a large heat-proof bowl, whisk together the 3 whole eggs, 3 egg yolks, 1 cup sugar, the lemon zest, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, for about 10 to 12 minutes until the mixture is thick like pudding. (I change to a whisk when the mixture starts to get thick.) Take off the heat and set aside for 15 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap directly on the surface and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours, until completely chilled.
  • Place half the egg whites and a pinch of salt in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high speed. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons sugar and continue to beat until the whites are stiff and shiny. Carefully fold the beaten whites into the cold lemon mixture with a rubber spatula. Place the cream in the same bowl of the electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (no need to clean the bowl) and beat on high speed until the cream forms stiff peaks. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the lemon mixture. Fold in the lemon curd, and pour into a 7-inch-diameter, 3-inch-deep souffle dish. Decorate with sweetened whipped cream and lemon slices that have been cut into quarters. Chill and serve cold.
  • Place the cream, sugar, and vanilla in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on medium and then high speed until the cream just forms still peaks. Spoon the whipped cream into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.

Categories     Cake     Citrus     Dessert     Bake     Wedding     Lemon     Spring     Bon Appétit     Kidney Friendly     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Makes 10 to 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

Curd
2 1/3 cups sugar
4 teaspoons cornstarch
1 cup fresh lemon juice
4 large eggs
4 large egg yolks
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Crust
Nonstick vegetable oil spray
2 cups shortbread cookie crumbs (about 7 1/2 ounces)
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Mousse
5 tablespoons water
4 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
6 large egg whites
3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups chilled heavy whipping cream
Lemon slices, cut into quarters (garnish)

Steps:

  • For curd:
  • Mix sugar and cornstarch in heavy large saucepan. Gradually add lemon juice, whisking until all cornstarch dissolves. Whisk in eggs and yolks. Add butter. Stir over medium heat until curd thickens and boils, about 12 minutes. Transfer to medium bowl. Chill until cold, at least 6 hours. (Can be made 1 week ahead.
  • Press plastic wrap onto surface of curd and keep chilled.)
  • For crust:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom of 8-inch-diameter springform pan with nonstick spray. Blend cookie crumbs and butter in small bowl. Press onto bottom of pan. Bake until golden, about 15 minutes. Cool.
  • For mousse:
  • Pour 5 tablespoons water into small saucepan. Sprinkle gelatin evenly over. Let stand until gelatin softens, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place 1 3/4 cups lemon curd in large bowl. Stir 3/4 cup curd in another small saucepan over medium-low heat until very warm.
  • Stir gelatin mixture over medium-low heat until dissolved and liquid is clear (do not boil). Whisk warm gelatin mixture into 3/4 cup warm curd. Gradually whisk gelatin-curd mixture into curd in large bowl. Using electric mixer, beat egg whites in medium bowl until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar, beating until whites are thick and glossy. Fold whites into curd mixture in 3 additions. Using same beaters, beat cream in another medium bowl until peaks form. Fold into egg white-curd mixture in 3 additions. Pour enough mousse over cooled crust to fill pan completely. Pour remaining mousse into small bowl and reserve. Cover and chill mousse cake, reserved mousse, and remaining curd overnight.
  • Using long thin knife, cut around cake to loosen. Remove pan sides. Gently spread 3/4 cup of remaining curd over cake. Transfer reserved mousse to pastry bag fitted with small star tip. Pipe rosettes of mousse around top edge of cake. Chill cake until ready to serve. (Can be made up to 8 hours ahead.)
  • Arrange lemon slices between rosettes. Cut cake into wedges.

LEMON MOUSSE CAKE



Lemon Mousse Cake image

Lemon Mousse Cake - an easy version of lemon mousse comprised of lemon curd and whipped cream sits atop a light as air sponge cake and is then topped with more lemon curd, whipped cream and candied lemon peel.

Provided by Barry C. Parsons

Categories     Cakes, Pies, and Tarts

Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 22

6 large or extra large eggs, room temperature is best
1 cup white sugar
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 cup flour, sifted
2 tbsp melted salted butter
2 ounces Limoncello Liqueur (optional, for soaking into the cake once it is baked)
6 lightly beaten egg yolks
1 cup sugar
½ cup fresh lemon juice
zest of two lemons, finely minced
½ cup butter cut into small pieces
1/2 of the batch lemon curd, previously prepared and chilled
2 cups whipping cream
2 tbsp rounded icing sugar, powdered sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp rounded icing sugar, powdered sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
3/4 cup water
peel of one lemon
1/2 cup additional white sugar to roll the candied peel in

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line the bottom of a 10 inch spring form pan with parchment paper but do NOT grease the sides. Greasing the sides will not allow the cake to rise well and since the cake is cooled in the pan, the ungreased sides provide support for the cake as it cools so that it will not shrink. (See NOTE for 9 inch Springform Pan)
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, using a whisk attachment, combine the sugar, eggs and vanilla extract and beat on medium high speed for about 10 minutes until the mixture is foamy and pale in color.
  • Reduce the speed of the mixer to medium low and with the mixer running, begin to continuously sprinkle in rounded tablespoons of the flour. Stop the mixer as soon as the flour is fully incorporated.
  • Remove 1 to 2 cups of the sponge cake batter and mix it with the melted butter.
  • Immediately add this mixture back into the main batter, folding it in very gently with a rubber spatula. Make sure the butter mixture is fully mixed in but be careful not to over mix the batter when folding as this can cause the batter to deflate.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared 10 inch spring form pan and bake for approximately 45 minutes or until the top springs back fully when pressed lightly. Watch this cake closely as it will over bake easily if left for 5 minutes too long. Start checking it at the 40 minute mark just to be sure, although it always takes the full 45 minutes in my oven.
  • Cool the cake completely IN THE PAN for at least a couple of hours before carefully and slowly running a sharp knife around the outside edge of the pan to release the cake from the sides. Be sure that you are holding the knife straight at a 90 degree angle, pressing it firmly against the side of the pan as you run it around the edge. This will ensure that you do not damage the sides and they will come out looking perfect in your presentation.
  • Release the sides of the spring form pan and peel the parchment paper off the bottom of the cake before placing it back into the spring form pan. The pan then acts as a mould to add the lemon mousse and allow it to set.
  • In a small saucepan combine the egg yolks, sugar, lemon juice and zest.
  • Cook slowly over medium low heat for about 10 minutes stirring constantly until the mixture thickens enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the butter a few pieces at a time until completely smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and chill completely in the fridge.
  • Note: I don't mind leaving the finely minced lemon zest in my lemon curd because I think it develops even more flavour as it chills, but if you prefer it smoother, you can run it trough a fine sieve before chilling.
  • Whip the whipping cream, icing sugar and vanilla extract to firm peaks.
  • Using a rubber spatula, fold 1/2 of the chilled lemon curd through the whipped cream until thoroughly blended. (The other half of the lemon curd is reserved for the top of the cake.)
  • Once you have the sponge cake back in the spring form pan as directed, you can sprinkle it with the Limoncello liqueur if you are using it. (See NOTE for 9 inch Springform Pan)
  • Add the prepared lemon mousse to the pan and chill for several hours or overnight.
  • When the cake is well chilled and the mousse has set, run a small sharp knife around the edge of the mousse to loosen it from the pan.
  • Slide the cake from the bottom of the pan onto a serving plate. Spread the reserved lemon curd evenly over the cake.
  • Pipe the vanilla whipped cream around the border or just use rounded teaspoonfuls to dollop around the edge. Garnish with the candied lemon peel if desired.
  • Cut a large lemon in thick slices and then cut the slices in half. Remove the lemon flesh from the peel.
  • Bring the 3/4 cup sugar and water to a slow simmer and add the lemon peel.
  • Slowly simmer for 15-20 minutes, then remove the peels from the syrup and drain for a minute or two on a wire rack before tossing the sticky peel into the additional sugar until it cools.

NO-BAKE LEMON MOUSSE CAKE



No-Bake Lemon Mousse Cake image

I adore the light feel and fresh flavor of lemon desserts, especially during the summer. I designed this recipe to evoke the flavors of lemon cheesecake and the texture of tiramisu with delicate layers of mousse and ladyfingers. The best part? As with an old-fashioned icebox cake, all you need is a refrigerator, no oven required!

Provided by Dan Langan

Time 6h30m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Nonstick spray
1 heaping cup lemon cookie crumbs (from about 22 lemon wafer cookies)
Zest of 1 medium lemon
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cups cold heavy cream
Two 8-ounce containers cold mascarpone cheese
1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar
Zest of 2 medium lemons
1/3 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 teaspoons lemon extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch fine salt
40 to 42 soft ladyfingers
12 lemon wafer cookies, crushed coarsely

Steps:

  • Prepare a 9-inch springform pan by flipping the base so that the lip is on the bottom of the
  • pan and then latch the pan in place. Spray the inside lightly with nonstick spray.
  • For the crust: Combine the cookie crumbs and lemon zest in a medium bowl and toss to combine. Add the butter and toss to combine. Press the mixture firmly over the bottom of the prepared pan. Set aside.
  • For the mousse: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whip the cream on medium-high speed until medium peaks form. Transfer the cream to a separate large bowl and set aside.
  • Combine the mascarpone, confectioners' sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, lemon extract, vanilla and salt in the same bowl used to whip the cream. Beat on medium speed until smooth, about 1 minute. Scrape the bowl and whisk attachment and continue to beat until thoroughly combined, about 30 seconds longer. Remove the bowl from the mixer and use a rubber spatula to fold about a third of the whipped cream into the mascarpone cream. Fold the remaining cream into the mascarpone mixture in thirds.
  • For assembly: Spread a third of the lemon mousse over the crumb crust. Arrange half of the ladyfingers in a single layer over the mousse. Add another third of the mousse and spread it evenly over the top. Add another layer of lady fingers. Spread the remaining mousse over the ladyfingers and smooth the top. Refrigerate the cake at least 6 hours or overnight.
  • To serve, gently run a spatula between the mousse and the edge of the springform pan. Unlatch the pan and slide the cake off the base and onto a serving platter (or serve the cake right from the springform bottom). Smooth the sides of the cake with an offset spatula if desired. Sprinkle the coarsely crushed cookie crumbs in a ring around the outer edge of the top of the cake. Serve chilled.

LUSCIOUS LEMON MOUSSE CAKE



Luscious Lemon Mousse Cake image

Luscious lemon mousse cake might be the perfect layer cake. Lemon cake with Limoncello syrup, zesty lemon curd and creamy lemon mousse. (Limoncello liquor is optional.)

Provided by Eileen Gray

Categories     Cakes/Cupcakes Recipes

Time 5h35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 recipe Vanilla Butter Cake
Grated zest from 1 lemon
2 teaspoons lemon extract
3 tablespoons (1.5 oz, 44ml) Limoncello (use water if you want to avoid alcohol)
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 1/2 teaspoons gelatin powder
1 cup (8 oz, 236ml) heavy cream
2 tablespoons powdered sugar
1 1/4 cups Lemon Curd
1 Recipe Swiss Meringue Buttercream (or your favorite buttercream) flavored to taste with lemon extract, lemon zest and Limoncello
1 Recipe Simple Syrup flavored with 1/4 cup Limoncello (or to taste) or 1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 3/4 cups (16 oz, 455 g) Lemon Curd

Steps:

  • Mix the cake according to the recipe, adding the zest to the dry ingredients and the lemon extract with the vanilla.
  • Divide the batter between two 8" pans lined with a parchment round or buttered and floured. Bake as instructed in the recipe. Wrap the cooled layers and chill until firm (I like to bake the cake a day ahead)
  • When you're ready to assemble the cake, trim the browned edges and domed top off both cakes. Split each cake horizontally so you have a total of 4 cake layers. See how to prep the layers here. Have your syrup and buttercream ready before you begin making the Lemon Mousse.
  • Place the Limoncello (or cold water) and lemon extract into a microwave safe bowl. Sprinkle the gelatin over the liquid in an even layer. Whisk briefly to combine and set aside to bloom. Whip the cream with the powdered sugar and set aside.
  • Place the 1 1/4 cups lemon curd in a large mixing bowl and use a spatula to smooth out the curd to break up any lumps. Fold 1/3 of the the cream into the lemon curd until no lumps of curd remain. Fold in the remaining cream until it's about 1/2 way incorporated.
  • Heat the bloomed gelatin in the microwave in 10 second increments until it's hot to the touch. Working quickly, add a 1/2 cup of the mousse to the warmed gelatin. Whisk immediately until completely incorporated. Pour the gelatin mixture back into the mousse. Immediately whisk until the mousse is smooth and the gelatin is evenly incorporated. If the mousse is very soft, refrigerate briefly to let it thicken before assembling the cake.
  • Fill a piping bag fitted with a star tip with buttercream (or use a disposable bag with the tip cut).
  • Set one layer of the cake, flat side down, onto a cardboard cake round or a serving plate. Brush the layer generously with the Limoncello syrup. Pipe a ring of buttercream around the edge of the layer to form a "dam" for the mousse. Scoop half the lemon mousse onto the layer and smooth until even.
  • Gently place the second cake layer onto the mousse, careful not to squish the mousse layer. Brush the layer with syrup and pipe a dam of buttercream. Set aside a 1/2 cup of the lemon curd and scoop the rest onto the layer. Smooth the curd until even (be careful not too press hard or you might squish the mousse layer beneath).
  • Place the 3rd cake layer, brush with syrup and pipe a dam. Fill with the remaining lemon mousse. Top with the 4th layer, brush with syrup. Set the cake into the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to set the buttercream "dams" and the mousse.
  • Ice the cake with a thin crumb coat of buttercream. Refrigerate the cake for at least an hour to set the buttercream and allow the mousse time to gel. Ice the cake with a final coating of buttercream.
  • Use a piping bag fitted with a star tip to pipe a border around the top of the cake. Spread the last 1/2 cup of curd onto the cake. Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours to make sure the filling is completely set, preferably over night.
  • Remove the cake from the refrigerator 1/2 hour before serving.

Yield Makes one 9-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter, room temperature, cut into tablespoons, plus more for pans
3 cups cake flour (not self-rising), plus more for pans
1 1/4 cups whole milk
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 vanilla bean, seeds scraped
1 3/4 cups sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
1 1/2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin (from a 1/4-ounce package)
1 tablespoon cold water
6 large egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest, plus 3/4 cup fresh juice (from 5 to 6 lemons)
1 stick (1/2 cup) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 cup heavy cream, whipped to stiff peaks
3 cups sugar
12 large egg whites, room temperature
Pinch of kosher salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
2 cups raspberries

Steps:

  • Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two 9-inch round cake pans; line with parchment. Butter parchment, then dust with flour, tapping out excess. Whisk together milk, eggs, and vanilla seeds.
  • In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt on low speed until well combined. Continue beating while gradually adding butter until mixture is crumbly, about 3 minutes.
  • Slowly add half of milk mixture; increase speed to medium and beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Slowly add remaining half of milk mixture, scraping down bowl as needed. Add lemon zest. Beat until incorporated, about 1 minute more.
  • Remove bowl from mixer; divide batter evenly between prepared pans, spreading to edges using a small offset spatula. Tap pans on counter to release any air bubbles. Bake until golden brown and a tester inserted in centers comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer pans to a wire rack; let cool completely. Turn cakes out of pans and remove parchment.
  • Filling: Sprinkle gelatin over water; let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. Whisk together yolks, sugar, and lemon zest and juice in a small, heavy saucepan. Cook, whisking constantly, over medium-low heat, until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove pan from heat; add gelatin mixture, stirring constantly, until gelatin is dissolved and mixture is slightly cool. Add butter a few pieces at a time, stirring well after each addition, until smooth. Using a rubber spatula, press filling through a fine sieve into a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing it directly onto surface to prevent skin from forming, and refrigerate until set, at least 2 hours and up to overnight. Stir filling; gently fold in whipped cream. Refrigerate 1 hour. Stir before using.
  • Using a serrated knife, split each cake horizontally into two equal layers. Place a cake layer, bottom-side down, on a serving platter. Spread 1 heaping cup filling evenly over it. Repeat process with two more cake layers. Top with remaining cake layer, bottom-side up. Refrigerate while you make meringue.
  • Meringue: Combine sugar, egg whites, and salt in the heatproof bowl of a mixer set over (not in) a pot of simmering water. Whisk until sugar is dissolved and mixture is warm to the touch and feels completely smooth when rubbed between fingertips, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer bowl to mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; whisk on low speed until foamy. Increase speed to medium-high and whisk until stiff, glossy peaks form and mixture has cooled completely, about 10 minutes. Add vanilla, cornstarch, and vinegar; whisk until incorporated, about 1 minute more.
  • Assembly: Evenly spread top and sides of cake with a 1/2-inch thickness of meringue, smoothing with an offset spatula. Transfer remaining meringue to a pastry bag fitted with a 3/4-inch round tip. Position tip parallel to top of cake, about 1 inch from edge. Pipe meringue, using an even amount of pressure and dragging tip along surface of cake and down side of cake, on the diagonal, and working from right to left. Continue piping, rotating cake, to cover completely.
  • Using a kitchen torch, move flame back and forth along top edge of meringue until evenly browned. Top with raspberries just before serving.

  • In the bowl of your stand mixer, beat the butter and sugar together until creamy. Slowly add in the flour and sea salt, mixing until a crumbly dough forms.
  • Press the dough into the prepared 9x13 pan as evenly as you can. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until just golden brown. Don't let it cook too long! You don't want it to be too crumbly. Let cool completely while you work on the next steps.
  • Zest the lemons and then juice them. You will need about 1/4 cup of lemon juice (if you have any extra lemon juice, save it for the lemon mousse). Set aside. Reserve about 1 tbsp of the lemon zest for garnishing the cakes.

  • Preheat the oven to 350/177C. This recipe will make a three-layer cake using 8-inch cake pans and a two-layer cake using 9-inch cake pans. Line the pans with parchment paper and spray the sides with a baking spray.
  • Prepare the lemon cake: In a large mixing bowl, beat together softened butter, sugar and lemon extract for a few minutes until fluffy. Add the eggs and beat again until creamy and smooth, about 2 to 3 minutes. Next, pour in the milk but don't mix it in yet (I recommend using warm milk). In a separate bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder and salt. Sift the dry ingredients into the cake batter and whisk in the dry ingredients and milk by hand to avoid over-mixing the batter. Add the lemon zest last and fold it in gently.
  • Divide the cake batter evenly between the prepared pans. Bake in preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake layers to cool completely on a wire rack, then use a long, serrated knife to level off the tops. Place the cake layers into the freezer for faster cooling.
  • While the cake layers are baking, prepare the lemon curd. Juice approximately 4 to 5 large lemons over a fine mesh strainer set up over a glass bowl or large measuring cup. Double strain the juice for smoothest lemon curd. Set juice aside. In a small stainless steel pot, combine the eggs, egg yolks and sugar. Whisk vigorously for 3 to 4 minutes, until the mixture is thick and more pale in color; it should ribbon off the whisk. Add the lemon juice and whisk to combine.
