This lemon cake recipe is literally the best I've had! With delicate, moist lemon cake layers, filled with a zesty lemon curd and topped with a super delicious cream cheese frosting, you'll be going back for seconds (and maybe even thirds!). This recipe is an updated version of my original lemon cake recipe.
