Ingredients
For the Cake:
- 1 box (15.25 oz) white cake mix
- 1 cup buttermilk (instead of water on box instructions)
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 4 egg whites
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Lemon Cream Filling:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- Zest of 1 lemon
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
For the Crumb Topping:
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- ¼ tsp salt
- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans or line them with parchment paper.
- Prepare the cake batter:
In a large bowl, mix the cake mix, buttermilk, oil, egg whites, lemon zest, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed for about 2 minutes, until smooth. Divide evenly between the pans. - Bake for 25–30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cakes cool completely.
- Make the lemon cream filling:
In a bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form; set aside.
In another bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, lemon juice, zest, and vanilla. Mix until well combined.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth. - Make the crumb topping:
In a small bowl, mix flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry cutter or fork until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Bake on a baking sheet at 350°F (175°C) for 10–12 minutes, or until lightly golden. Cool. - Assemble the cake:
Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread the lemon cream filling generously over it. Top with the second cake layer. Sprinkle the crumb topping over the top. Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Tips:
- Chill the cake before serving for a firmer filling.
- You can add extra lemon zest on top for more brightness.
