Spanish Lemon Cake with Lemon Curd Cream and Raspberries

Looks a bit girly if you ask me – all those raspberries neatly circling the top. Still, tasted bloody nice. The basic sponge recipe is taken from the Spanish cookbook, 1080 recipes, doubled to make two layers. The creamy middle is a tub of double cream whipped to stiffness with half a jar of lemon curd folded in. Sweet indeed thus requiring the raspberries to add a little tartness. I’m on my second huge slice…
