⭐️ASSEMBLY:

YOU NEED:

Lemon cake

Raspberry preserves

Lemon buttercream frosting

1. Start with fully cooled lemon cake- I like to freeze mine- and level your tops out to make a flat surface.

2. Using your lemon buttercream, outline the top with a circle in order to hold your preserves in. Photo to reference in comments!

3. Add preserves, then top with second layer of cake.

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3, then frost entire cake.

Enjoy right away or store in the fridge for up to a week!💞
