16 Step
Recipe View
Chill the assembled cake for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld. (60 minutes)
For the best results, use a high-quality lemon pie filling with a vibrant lemon flavor.
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning for optimal emulsification.
The ungreased tube pan is crucial for the cake's rise. The batter needs to cling to the sides of the pan.
Be patient during the cooling process. Cooling the cake inverted is essential for its light and airy texture.
If the top of the cake begins to brown too quickly during baking, loosely tent it with aluminum foil.
For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of lemon liqueur to the filling.
