Notes

You can also start with THREE 6-inch pans to get three layers. Bake them for about 20-25 minutes or until it's firm to touch, no wetness on top and an inserted cake tester comes out of the cake center clean . Once the cakes have cooled, spread lemon curd in between. No need to slice each layer into halves.
