- In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Continue to beat until the frosting is light and fluffy. If the frosting is too thick, add a little heavy cream to reach your desired consistency.
5. Assemble the Cake:
- Once the cakes are completely cooled, carefully slice each cake in half horizontally to create four layers.
- Place the first layer of cake on a cake stand or serving plate. Spread a layer of lemon cream filling over the cake.
- Add the second layer of cake, then top with more lemon cream filling. Repeat the process with the remaining layers, finishing with a layer of cake on top.
6. Frost the Cake:
- Frost the entire cake with the lemon cream frosting, smoothing it evenly over the top and sides.
- Optional: Garnish the top with extra lemon zest or thin lemon slices for a decorative touch.
7. Chill and Serve:
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 1-2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the frosting to set.
