London Fog Layer Cake
It's London fog time, friends! Are you familiar with a London fog? If not, I'm thrilled to introduce you to it via this London fog layer cake. London fog is the loveliest tea latte around. I'm not a coffee drinker - I tried to become one in college a few times, but ended up feeling jittery and horrible and gave up quickly - but I LOVE visiting coffee shops, so I'm always on the lookout for a fun tea option. At its most basic, a London fog is a latte made with earl grey tea, milk, and vanilla. When it's dressed up, it might include lavender! For this London fog layer cake, I of course included lavender. In addition to gorgeously-soft cake layers flavored with earl grey and lavender, this cake is filled with sunny mixed-citrus curd and frosted with a silky salted vanilla-bergamot buttercream. It's magical! This magical cake recipe must be purchased in order to gain access. You can Purchase Content!
The citrus curd in this recipe caught my eye! I had my heart on a mimosa cake for my sister’s bridal shower so I paired this citrus curd with a champagne cake and mimosa buttercream. The citrus curd was quite easy and really rounded out the cake. I am excited to try out this cake recipe as soon as I can order some bergamot flavor 🙂
So glad you loved the citrus curd! I’m hooked on making it with multiple citruses to give it more complexity than with lemon alone. Thanks for trying it!
Baking is my love language so I shared this masterpiece at work.
3 of my coworkers had second slices, one took a piece home for her husband, and one wants a bucket of curd (I used lemon, lime, and orange).
This recipe is in my top 3 of all time and will be made again and again.
This makes me SO HAPPY to hear! I’m so so glad that it was enjoyed by all 🙂 Isn’t citrus curd with a mix of fruits so much nicer than plain lemon??
