Lemon Cake with Strawberry Sauce
("Easy-on-your-Waistband Dessert")



INGREDIENTS
2 pouches (6.5 oz each) lemon poppy seed muffin mix
1 box (10 oz) frozen strawberries in syrup, puréed in blender
1/2 cup bottled lemon curd

PREPARATION
1. Heat oven to 375°F. Coat an 8 x 2-in. round cake pan with nonstick spray.

2. Put muffin mix in a bowl; stir in 1 1/4 cups water just until moistened (small lumps may remain). Spread evenly in pan.


3. Bake 25 to 28 minutes until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pan on a wire rack 5 minutes before inverting cake on rack to cool completely.


4. Using a long serrated knife, split cake in half horizontally. Place bottom half on a plate; spread with lemon curd. Top with remaining cake. Serve with the puréed strawberries. ­Garnish with strawberries and confectioners’ sugar, if desired.

I would try this with strawberry muffin mixes and a little jam, too.
Have a good day!

  10. Lemon curd is a soft, thick, and creamy spreadable cream that has a tart yet sweet taste.

    You can make or purchase it.

  17. Why is it that you can make all these goodies but you don't gain any weight? Even if I don't eat the finished product, I have to lick all the bowls!
