The bride and groom were very happy, along with the bride's Mom and Dad. The only thing I did differently, was added vanilla bean in the frosting/filling( which I "schmeared" lightly on the sides). I added fresh berries on each of the four tiers. Absolutely delicious!!<br />Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15163512524928137783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254220860382105591.post-72280570891746246142017-08-06T11:37:19.857-04:002017-08-06T11:37:19.857-04:00My filling curdled as well.

If your lemons are super juicy then it might be too much (and remember you're only mixing in half) To fix it try mixing in more flour and sugar; start with 2 teaspoons flour and 1 of sugar, repeat until you're at the consistency you like. Good luck !!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03490984777753909427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254220860382105591.post-78837050943945469102017-05-12T15:36:18.297-04:002017-05-12T15:36:18.297-04:00but, the crumb rcp does not make CRUMBS... it'...but, the crumb rcp does not make CRUMBS... it's goo! ??

DROOOLLL<br /><br />I made this cake last night for my companies summer picnic today. Lets just say it was there one minute and then gone the next!! I was lucky to get a sliver to try it! everyone raved about it!! not to mention the presentation was so perfect too!<br /><br />I did tweak it a bit by incorporating what others had commented on and my judgment.<br /> <br />For the crumbles: def use cold chopped butter. lemons these days at the store are huge, I only used half the lemon juice, and it was perfect.<br /> <br />The cake: def DO NOT over mix the wet and dry or your cake will turn out a little dry. I used a mix of fresh and frozen berried, it was perfect. make sure you butter the pan very well or you will have issues with getting the cake out. I took a butter knife and loosened the edges when the cake had cooled for 30 mins. to get the cake out, flip it on to a plate and tap, I cooled them in the fridge like that. <br /><br />I will def be making this again!! thank you for sharing!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00959080472653317598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6254220860382105591.post-74396302412677358412016-01-14T15:05:29.431-05:002016-01-14T15:05:29.431-05:00I had this cake last week at Revelations cafe in F...I had this cake last week at Revelations cafe in Fairfield Iowa my hometown.

Then add the lemon zest/juice to it, mix it with a fork and it will be crumbly, easy to divide over the two pans.<br />The finished product is in my fridge setting up as I type and we can't wait to try it.

The parchment paper was a life saver I think.<br /><br />I also had issues with the crumb topping. I followed it precisely and it was still batter-life. I wonder if I can blame the lemon size. For some reason, we buy big lemons which would produce more juice. I kept adding flour and sugar to the mix, and more butter, until I got the crumbs. It tasted good raw, we'll have to see baked. Karen, maybe your lemons were more lime sized?

The crumbs should come out like a streusel/coffee cake topping; it probably works best with real butter, stuff like that doesn't seem to work as well with margarine (at least for me !) You can also definitely omit the lemon juice if that's more to your taste (I just liked the extra lemon kick) And yes, this works perfectly with frozen berries - that's what I used the first time I made it., Hope it all worked out !

Then they stopped serving it and I asked the waitress who made the cake. She said Sysco...when I googled it, I found your blog!! Yay! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for the recipe! But not for the extra ten pounds I'm going to gain. So much better to make it myself and eat it while it is fresh (sometimes it wasn't so fresh at the diner). I'm going to make it for my 18th wedding anniversary on Valentine's Day!! Hope it's as good!! Will have to work out a little longer each day in order to indulge in this delicious treat!
