Lemon curd & almond crumble cake
Cakes
There's nothing I love better than a lemon dessert. Lemon tart, lemon syrup cake, lemon mousse, you name it and I'm there!! But as much as I do love a lemon tart (and do think it's the ultimate lemon dessert), I find that pastry can be time consuming, so really wanted to create something faster but still zingy and with some texture, so I added a crumble topping to this cake. The cake base is delicious and buttery and is made extra luscious with the addition of creme fraiche and almond meal. The combination of beautiful lemon curd sandwiched between a super-moist cake base and crumbly topping is a match made in heaven! I like to serve mine with fresh berries, a berry coulis and a dollop of creme fraiche for extra indulgence. I imagine you could use good-quality store-bought lemon curd for this cake, but I also wonder why you would buy it when it's so easy and so delicious when home-made. It's so delicious that my housemate licks the bowl entirely clean when I make it! Please enjoy as this is a firm favorite amongst my friends and family, but I don't tend to make it too often as it can be quite an expensive endeavor!!
