Рецепт Lemon Cake with Citron Italian Meringue Buttercream
This Lemon Cake with Citron Italian Meringue Buttercream Cake is topped with White Chocolate Trees decorated with Sugar Pearls. We Cake Slice Bakers have come to the end of our baking year and will soon have a new book to bake along with. For our last bake of the year, we had the option to choose a recipe from any previous book we’ve baked from.
My choice came from the Southern Living, The Southern Cake Book, one of my favorites. The original recipe includes a lemon filling and a coconut topping.
I used the cake recipe and decided to fill and frost my cake with a Citron Italian Meringue Buttercream. To decorate the cake, I made White Chocolate Trees decorated with sugar pearls.
To make the Christmas trees I used a Christmas Tree cookie cutter to trace the design onto parchment paper. Next, I turned the paper over onto a large cutting board and traced the design with melted white chocolate. My tracing went slightly awry but that’s ok, Tis the season to be jolly. I filled in the outline with zigzags of the white chocolate and sprinkled them with the sugar pearls.
Once the chocolate hardened I added a small amount of white chocolate to the base of one tree and attached a popsicle stick. Then I added a small amount of melted white chocolate to the popsicle stick and added another white chocolate tree to it for dimension. I also made a few stars to place at the base of the trees.
It’s been a great year of baking with the Cake Slice Bakers and I’m looking forward to our new baking adventures. Please visit the other bakers linked below to see what recipes they’ve chosen.
