Ingredients
- 5 cups white, yellow, or lemon cake cut in small cubes. I used lemon chiffon cake, recipe here
- 1 cup lemon curd homemade or store bought
- 1 1/2 cup sweetened whipped cream
Instructions
- Put a layer of cake cubes at the bottom of 4 glasses.
- Top each with a tablespoon (approximately) of lemon curd.
- Add a heaping tablepoon of whipped cream over the curd. Spread to cover the surface.
- Repeat the layers 2 more times, ending with a dollop of whipped cream. I like to sprinkle a little lemon zest on top as well because it looks so lemony and pretty.
- You can serve right away but I like to let them chill for a couple of hours, ideally. This allows the moisture from the curd and the whipped cream to soak into the cake a bit.
