Recipe: Lemon Tiramisu Cake

I made this cake for easter and followed the recipe exactly and it was awful it was very dry everyone who ate it had the same reaction i did. I will not try this cake again the ingredients were costly with a bottle of the liquer costing 30.00

We're sorry the recipe did not work well for you and hope you'll give other American Profile recipes a try. I'm not sure why the cake turned out to be dry. Once you add the glaze to the top of each layer, it should have been quite moist.

Purchasing all of the ingredients for Lemon Tiramisu Cake was a big splurge but it looked like a recipe that I could handle and it was going to be my dessert contribution for Easter dinner with friends. I took extra care to make sure that I followed directions exactly (couldn't afford to throw out a flop!) and I covered and refrigerated the cake overnight to let the flavors "ripen." I was very pleased with the results! It was a light, refreshing dessert and everyone liked it. If I were going to tweak it just a little, I might mix just a little more filling into the lemon curd to tone that sharp lemon taste down a little and I maybe would increase the volume of the "glaze" to ensure that the cake isn't dry. Mine wasn't, and I think that storing it in a closed container in the refrigerator helped. I have plans to make this dessert again for a gathering we're hosting in the near future; gotta get some mileage out of that big bottle of Limoncello! Thanks for a fun recipe!!!

This recipe will live on infamy in my family. It was an Easter supper dessert disaster. It looked OK but cutting it up and biting into it -- yikes! It really didn't taste too much different from rocks. I really think this recipe should be yanked. It sounds so promising, but something is very wrong with the ingredient amounts and/or steps.

I made the Lemon Tiramisu cake using Lemoncello liquer (which is pricey) The results were indeed fabulous!! This cake was a real success at a family function. Everyone loved it! The cake was beautifully moist and never dried out. I also made my own lemon curd not a store brand. So if you are willing to spend a bit more on making a cake this is the one~
