So much flavor it will drive you NUTS! As in Coconuts:~D

Lemon curd is one of my absolute favorite flavors ever. The sweet and tart flavor of the cheery citrus just makes me happy thinking about it. I have made gallons of the yummy stuff over the years and usually put it on pavlova, toast, or croissants. When I saw that this cake used it as an ingredient, I was hooked.
This cake is definitely something that might take longer than a boxed cake or something that has only a few ingredients. Some things are just worth it and I think the pay off for taking the time to bake something fabulous will be worth every bite.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to bring the most talked about dish to the party, baby shower, or event? This might be the recipe that does it. Heads will turn when this gets served up. Be prepared, someone might just want your autograph. You baking rock star!

Another great aspect of this cake is that you can pull out your very best cake platter, you know the one, it was handed down from your grandmother, or you received it for your wedding. If you don’t have something fabulous to display this work of art, pull a DIY and make one..or go to Target and buy one.

Yeah, I think I might go for that option after all a gal can only do so much!

This is what Michelle of A Latte Food has to say about this incredible show stopping cake!

And this cake has triple layers of coconut, lemon curd, and lemon cream cheese frosting. If you’re looking for summer in a cake, this has sunshine written all over it.

Quick Tip: Make sure to allow eggs to sit at room temperature before separating and whipping up. Also, make sure the beaters and bowl are completely free of any oil. Just saying that those few things will really help to ensure you get nice stiff peaks.

Anyone who knows me know I am a total FREAK for anything lemon.

I don’t know what it is but I just can’t get enough of the bright tangy taste of lemons.

Even the sight if the citrus is cheery. Nothing says clean and fresh like a bowl of lemons right in the middle of the table.

Being from Northern California I wasn’t surrounded by citrus like we are in sunny Southern CA. While I don’t think this area will ever feel like home, I have to admit I have become very spoiled with the abundance of produce.

Lemon Curd is one of my favorite things to make. When I have a bowl of lemons I will usually can a few jars, but since they are such a treat, I end up giving them away as little gifts.

Which means I need to make another batch. It is a vicious cycle, but when life gives you lemons..make something fabulous.

This dessert really caught my eye because it is a bit lighter than a traditional cheesecake and is a no-bake option. the last thing you want to do on a hot summer day is turn on the oven.

This is what Michelle has to say about this lip smacking summer delight.

The whole lemon explosion is sitting on top of a vanilla wafer crust!

This no bake lemon cheesecake is full of lemon flavor, and lighter than a traditional cheesecake recipe, making it the perfect summer dessert!

Quick Tip: If you have an abundance of lemons  and are not sure what to do with them consider juicing them and pouring the juice into ice cube trays. When they are frozen, just pop the lemon juice cubes out, put into a freezer bag, and put back into freezer. When you need some lemon for anything or even to make a drink with just take out as many cubes as you need.
