Lickety Split Lemon-Lime Cake

 this is the BEST cake I ever made!! :♥)

Lemon Cake:
~Beat together 1/2 c softened butter, 1 c white sugar in an electric mixer stand until light & fluffy, about 3-4 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. 

~Add in 4 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. It should look like its curdled. Sift together 2 1/2 c cake flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1 large lemon of zest. ~Add the flour mixture slowly with 1/4 c fresh lemon juice mixing until you have a smooth batter.

~Grease sides of 10" cake pan, line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper (not waxpaper, it'll melt and burn). Bake at 350 until toothpick approved and check every 15mins.

Lemon Filling:
~In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 c sugar, 2 tbsp flour, 2 tbsp cornstarch and 1/4 tsp salt. Stir in 1 1/2 c water, 2 large lemon, juiced and zest. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat

~Stir in 3 tbsp butter. Place 4 egg yolks in a small bowl and gradually whisk in 1/2 cup of hot sugar mixture. Then whisk egg yolk mixture back into remaining sugar mixture. Bring to a boil and continue to cook while stirring constantly until thick. Remove from heat and cool.

Lime Mousse:

~I used boxed mousse, shocking I know eh, that I didnt make this one from scratch!! lol I did followed the directions on a box of  Dr. Oetker Shirriff Mousse, the Vanilla flavored mousse!

~Then I grabbed 1 large Lime, grated all the of zest and squeezed all the juice and added it in!  :♥)

~Whip up a 500ml carton of Whipping cream for the topping to spread around the outside the cake!
