Ingredients

To make this delicious lemon curd mousse cake, you’ll need the following ingredients:

2 cups of all-purpose flour
½ cup of granulated sugar
2 teaspoons of baking powder
½ teaspoon of salt
1 ½ sticks of unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs
4 tablespoons of lemon juice
2 teaspoons of lemon zest
1 cup of buttermilk
1/3 cup of lemon curd
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 cups of heavy cream
2 tablespoons of confectioners’ sugar
1 cup of fresh blueberries (optional)

You’ll also need a 9-inch springform pan, parchment paper, and a stand mixer with a whisk attachment.

Instructions

The first step to making this delicious lemon curd mousse cake is to preheat your oven to 350°F. Line the springform pan with parchment paper and set aside.

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating in between each one. Add the lemon juice and zest and beat until well combined.

Alternate adding the dry ingredients and buttermilk until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

To prepare the mousse, beat the heavy cream and confectioners’ sugar with a whisk attachment until soft peaks form. Add the lemon curd and vanilla extract and continue to beat until stiff peaks form.

Spread the mousse over the cooled cake. Top with fresh blueberries, if desired. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
