Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Lemon Cream Italian Cake.
Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and lightly greasing the bottom of a 10-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a spacious mixing bowl, blend together the cake mix—remember to set aside 1 cup for the crumb topping—along with milk, oil, and eggs.
Step 3
Use an electric mixer to beat this delightful mixture for about 2 minutes until everything is beautifully combined.
Step 4
Pour the luscious batter into your prepared springform pan.
Step 5
In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter and vanilla extract, then incorporate the reserved cup of cake mix until you achieve a crumbly texture.
Step 6
Sprinkle this enticing crumb topping generously over the cake batter.
Step 7
Bake in your preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center emerges clean.
Step 8
Allow the cake to cool in the pan until it reaches room temperature.
Step 9
Meanwhile, in another bowl, whip together cream cheese, 1/3 cup of confectioners' sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 10
In a different bowl, whip the heavy cream with the remaining 1/3 cup of confectioners' sugar until stiff peaks form.
Step 11
Gently fold the cream cheese mixture into the whipped cream until well blended.
Step 12
Once your cake has cooled, carefully release it from the springform pan.
Step 13
With a serrated knife, slice the cake horizontally into two layers.
Step 14
Spread the luscious cream filling on the bottom layer, then place the top layer over it.
Step 15
For the best flavor, refrigerate the cake for at least 4 hours before serving.
Step 16
Just before you delight your guests, dust the top with a light sprinkle of confectioners' sugar for that perfect finishing touch.
Step 17
Enjoy every bite of this scrumptious creation!.
