Classic Lemon Buttercream Frosting gets its smooth, citrusy tang from both lemon juice and lemon extract. It’s a French buttercream, which means its sweetened with a hot syrup that’s beaten into egg yolks, and then blended with butter. Easy-ish recipe (“-ish” because it requires a candy thermometer, and I know that scares some people).
This homemade (from scratch) three-layer (two-layer) Blueberry Eclipse Cake is made from butter, eggs, fresh berries, and sour cream, and it has an extraordinary color. It’s whipped cream and lemon curd frosting is celestial.
