Method
Cake
- Preheat oven to 160ºC fan bake or 180ºC conventional. Grease 2 x 20cm round cake tins and line the bases with baking paper.
- Place vanilla cupcake mix, butter, eggs, milk and lemon zest in a large mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat on low speed for 30 seconds to combine. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
- Divide mixture evenly between prepared tins. Arrange raspberries on top and gently press in. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until cakes spring back when lightly pressed in the centre.
- Leave to cool in tins for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.
To Decorate
- Place icing mix, butter and milk in a medium mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on low for 30 seconds to combine. Increase speed to high and beat for 3 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally.
- Use a spatula to mix thickened cream into icing.
- Spread approximately one third of the icing on top of one of the cooled cakes. Place the second cake layer on top.
- Transfer remaining icing to a piping bag fitted with a large round nozzle. Pipe blobs of icing over the top of the cake.
- Add spoonfuls of lemon curd randomly on top/in the gaps of the icing. Sprinkle raspberries on top.
TIPS
• For nice clean slices, chill decorated cake for ½ hour before slicing and serving.
• Easier option for decorating: spread rather than pipe icing on top of cake, drizzle with lemon curd and sprinkle with raspberries.
