Ingredients:

  • 2 packages (16 oz each) betty crocker lb cake mix
  • 4 eggs
  • 2/3 cup water
  • candy:
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1-1/2 tsp lemon extract
  • 1/8 tsp yellow food coloring
  • lemon filling:
  • 2 packages (3 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 cup lemon curd
  • cream cheese frosting:
  • 2 packages (8 oz each) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup lemon curd
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 6 cups confectioners' sugar
  • yellow edible glitter

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, beat the cake mixes, eggs, water, lemonade concentrate, butter and lemon peel. Transfer to three greased and floured 9-in. round baking pans. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pans to wire racks to cool completely.
  2. Meanwhile, line three greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pans with parchment paper; set aside.
  3. In a large heavy saucepan, combine corn syrup and sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook for 3 minutes to dissolve sugar crystals. Uncover and cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 300° (hard-crack stage).
  4. Remove from the heat; stir in lemon extract and food coloring (keep face away from mixture as flavoring is very strong). Immediately pour into prepared pans forming small zigzag shapes. Let cool completely.
  5. For filling, beat cream in a small bowl until soft peaks form; set aside. In another bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in the confectioners' sugar, lemon curd and lemon peel. Fold in whipped cream.
  6. Place one cake layer on a serving plate; spread with 1 cup filling. Repeat. Top with remaining cake layer.
  7. For frosting, in a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, butter, lemon curd, vanilla and salt until smooth. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar. Frost top and sides of cake. Break candy into shards; insert into frosting forming rays of sunlight. Sprinkle cake with edible glitter. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 16 servings.
