lemon cream cake recipe
This is one of those posts where I have to admit that everything didn’t turn out just the way I planned.  In my efforts to make a delicious Lemon Cream Cake, I found myself with what I thought was going to be a big disaster!  The cake was made, and as I attempted to move it and frost the middle, the whole thing fell apart right before my eyes.  In my dissapointment I threw the whole thing on to a plate and was really feeling bad about wasting it. Oops!  I tried to think of a way to salvage this dessert, since it was ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS, yes my husband and I nibbled at it.  I pulled out one of my glass dessert cups and layered the crumbled mess and frosting into the cup, and I was pleasantly suprised that it didn’t look too bad!  So I basically ended up with something similar to a triffle!  Yeah, I served the dessert cups and in reality no one really knew that it was supposed to be a beautiful cake instead!!  Thus, this is now what I call a Lemon Cream Oops Cake! After all, taste is most important to me and believe me, this was sooo yummy!
