Description

Preparation Time: 10 mins 
Cooking Time: 15 mins
Servings: 8

Ingredients:
½ cup (125 mL) fresh lemon juice
1 tsp (5 mL) lemon zest
½ cup (125 mL) granulated sugar
Pinch salt
4 egg yolks
2 tbsp (30 mL) cold butter, cubed
⅓ cup (75 mL) toasted coconut flakes
1 (510 g) McCain® Deep ’n Delicious® Vanilla Cake, cut and thawed

In small saucepan, heat lemon juice and zest, sugar and salt over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes or until mixture is hot and sugar is dissolved. In heatproof bowl, whisk egg yolks with ¼ cup (60 mL) of the hot liquid; whisk into remaining liquid in saucepan. Cook, whisking constantly, for 3 to 5 minutes or until lemon curd coats the back of a spoon. Stir in butter, one cube at a time. Let cool.

Place plastic wrap directly on surface. Refrigerate until completely chilled (curd will continue to thicken as it chills). Top each piece of McCain® Deep 'n Delicious® Vanilla Cake with some lemon curd and sprinkle with coconut.

Tip: Store lemon curd in airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days. You can also use store-bought lemon curd.

    So quick and easy. A nice recipe that will add the right amount of 'homemade' touches to a McCain Vanilla Cake in order to serve at more formal occassions - or just to impress your guests. Love the touches of lemon, this will be my 'go to recipe' for summer. Citrusy and fresh tasting. My family and guests really enjoyed this and all thought it came directly from my oven!

    Quick and easy to make! Which I love! I made whipped cream out of frozen coconut milk to top it! The lemon was a nice touch with the coconut, I spiralled lemon peel as a garnish

    Very quick and easy recipie. I didn't like it that much but my mother and grand parents did. They said it added nice flavour to the mccanes cake. Think the cake way better without it
