made this cake for my boyfriend's birthday! he's a lemon lover (as you can tell) so i pulled out all the stops for this one. its a chantilly cake filled with lemon curd and raspberry puree. the lemons on the outside of the cake are all flavoured with the same curd used on the inside. surprisingly (despite its marscapone/ cream cheese icing AND the fact that its a four-layer cake), it survived two 4+ hour car rides in the humid southeast- sooo go me WOO

here's the recipe info:

for the raspberry puree: bring 12 oz frozen raspberry, 1 cup of water, 1 cup of sugar to a boil on the stove. let boil and thicken. use a hand blender to make smooth and then strain to get all of the seeds out
