Ingredients
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 4 egg yolks
- Juice of 2 lemons and the grated zest of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup butter (1/2 stick)
Instructions
- Place the water in a heavy bottomed saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat.
- While the water comes to a boil, mix the sugar and cornstarch together in a medium mixing bowl.
- To the sugar and cornstarch, add the egg yolks, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Beat well, adding a small amount of the boiling water to thin the mixture.
- Pour the sugar and egg mixture into the boiling water. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture has thickened.
- Remove the pan from the heat and add the butter. Stir until the butter has melted and is incorporated into the mixture.
- Allow the frosting to cool before spreading on cooled cake layers (on top and inside only).
Notes
- The nutrition values are for the lemon cheese only. The cake layers are not included.
- The recipe makes enough to prepare one two-layer cake.
- Use your favorite two-layer white cake recipe to make the layers for the finished cake. The leftover egg whites from the lemon cheese are perfect for this!
- See the "How to Separate Eggs" section in the post of detailed instructions.
