To make the lemon cream cheese frosting
• To make the frosting, add the cream cheese and butter to a large mixer bowl and beat until well combined and smooth.
• Add about half of the powdered sugar and mix until well combined and smooth.
• Add the lemon juice and zest and mix until well combined.
• Add the remaining powdered sugar and mix until well combined and smooth. Add more or less powdered sugar, as desired for consistency purposes.
• To put the cake together, use a large serrated knife to remove the domes from the top of the cakes so that they’re flat, if needed.
• Place the first cake on a serving plate or a cardboard cake round.
• Spread about 1 cup of frosting evenly on top of the cake.
• Add the second layer of cake and another cup of frosting.
• Top the cake with the remaining layer and frost the outside of the cake. Refer to my tutorial for frosting a smooth cake, if needed.
• Add swirls of frosting to the top of the cake and finish it off with some lemon slices.
• Refrigerate the cake until ready to serve. Cake is best served cool, but not cold.
