Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and position the rack in the middle of the oven.

2. Prepare two 8×2-inch round cake pans by greasing and flouring them.

3. Sift together the cake flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.

4. Combine 1/4 cup of granulated sugar with the lemon zest in a food processor until well mixed.

5. Beat the butter and lemon sugar in a mixer until light and fluffy for about 1 to 2 minutes.

6. Add the remaining 1 1/2 cups of granulated sugar and beat until smooth.

7. Gradually add 1/4 of the milk to the mixture and beat until just blended.

8. On low speed, add the flour mixture alternating with the remaining milk in 3 batches, scraping the sides of the bowl as needed. Beat until just blended.

9. In a clean bowl, whip the egg whites on medium speed until foamy, then add the cream of tartar. Increase the speed to high and beat until the whites just hold stiff peaks.

10. Gently fold in 1/4 of the whipped egg whites into the batter using a whisk or spatula.

11. Fold in the remaining whipped egg whites, 1/4 at a time, until fully incorporated.

12. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops.

13. Bake in the preheated oven until a tester inserted in the center comes out clean, about 35-40 minutes.

14. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and cool completely on a wire rack.

15. Using a long serrated knife, carefully cut each cake horizontally into two layers.

16. To assemble the cake, place one layer on a serving plate with the cut side up and spread with 1/3 cup of chilled lemon curd.

17. Add another cake layer on top, spread with lemon curd, and repeat with the third layer.

18. Top with the fourth cake layer.

19. Up to a few hours before serving, spread a thin layer of frosting on the cake, filling any gaps as you go. Chill the cake for about 30 minutes to firm the crumb coat.

20. Spread the remaining frosting decoratively over the sides and top of the cake.

21. Scatter lemon zest on top as a garnish.

Frosting Instructions:

1. In an electric mixer, beat the butter and lemon zest until light and fluffy.

2. Gradually add the confectioners’ sugar in batches and beat until light and fluffy.

3. Add the lemon juice and beat for 1 minute.

4. The frosting can be made a couple of hours ahead and kept covered at cool room temperature until ready to use.
