Please note that cooking appliances may vary. These instructions are given only as a guide.
Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C for fan assisted ovens)/350°F/Gas Mark 4.
Cake:
- Blend together the contents of the Lemon Cake sachet with 2 medium eggs, 145ml water, 45ml oil and the contents of one of the lemon juice sachets in a large mixing bowl.
- Whisk on slow speed for 30 seconds then continue on maximum speed for 2 minutes.
- Divide the mixture equally into greased and base lined 18cm (7inch) sandwich tins. Bake in the centre of the pre-heated oven for approximately 25 minutes until golden brown.
Filling:
- Prepare the lemon filling by creaming 120g butter or margarine until light and fluffy while gradually adding the contents of both icing sachets and 100g of additional icing sugar.
- Add a teaspoon of the additional lemon juice sachet to give extra lemon flavour.
- Mix until a spreadable consistency is achieved (add extra icing sugar or lemon juice as required).
Finishing:
- Remove the cakes from the oven and allow to cool completely.
- Using a large knife carefully cut the cakes horizontally to give 4 base sections.
- Sandwich together each section with lemon filling to build a tower.
- Sprinkle icing sugar over the top.
