Instructions:

Prepare Springform Pans: Take out 2 nine-inch springform pans and lightly grease and flour them.
-
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Cream Butter and Sugar: In a medium bowl, cream your butter and sugar with a wooden spoon until it becomes a thick, creamy, and fluffy mixture.
-
Incorporate Ingredients: Add the poppy seeds, fresh lemon rind, curd, and egg yolks to the butter-sugar mixture and beat well.
-
Add Milk: Pour in the milk and mix well.
-
Fold in Flour: Gently fold in the self-rising flour until combined.

Whisk Egg Whites: In another medium bowl, whisk the egg whites using an electric mixer until they form soft peaks.

Incorporate Egg Whites: Carefully fold the whisked egg whites into the batter just until combined.
-
Divide Batter: Divide the batter evenly between your two prepared springform pans.
-
Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. The cakes should be beautifully golden!

Fill the Cake: Spread the top of one cake with the lemon curd and then spoon the whipped heavy cream on top of the curd.
