Moist Citrus Curd Cake
Looking to make something different for coffee or tea?
This citrus curd cake is definitely it!
Imagine a soft, delicate crumb cake with a creamy curd center.
That creamy citrusy flavor will hit your senses in unexpected ways since it’s sweet but very tangy at the same time.
I combined lime, lemon, and orange curd all in one cake.
Remember the citrus curds I made a couple of weeks ago?
Well, we ate some of them, and the other ones went in this delicious concoction.
That’s why my fridge is always stuffed full of jars. They are so versatile.
A reason why I love this cake is that the flavor can change depending on the filling, so it’s never the same. One day you can make a lemon, the next week an orange… etc
In this instance, we combined orange, lime, and grapefruit. I also added a little zest to the batter. You can, of course, use your favorite one.
Passion fruit and mango come to mind for the next time I make this.
Last weekend we had some friends over for coffee. They loved the cake and its flavors. I froze the rest. It freezes beautifully! That way, I’ll always have dessert whenever we have guests over unexpectedly.
This is what it looks like when I’m filling the cake. I pour half of the batter, then the curd, and finally the remaining batter.
I hope you can try this delicious Moist Citrus Curd Cake at home. If you do, please upload a pic on Instagram and tag me @Livingsweetmoments or use the hashtag #LivingSweet.
