Happy Valentines! <3 Recipe for Lemon Delicacy

Happy Valentines! Here is the recipe for Lemon Delicacy, Alan's favorite dessert. I hope you love it as much as we do! Enjoy!

I start the Lemon Delicacy (pictured at the top of this entry) with lemon cake batter baked into a jumbo muffin pan. This will yield 6 cakes. Using a box mix will have a lot of extra batter to make other cakes or some other ideas I will post in another entry.

Next cut the bottom off of the cake and place it into a small dessert bowl.

Now hollow out both the top and bottom portion of the cake halves.

And fill them with a strawberry blueberry filling. Easy to make, just use strawberry cake frosting (actually any flavor will work great!) and heat it in a glass bowl for about 45 seconds in the microwave. Make sure the frosting feels more like pudding in consistency. Then add blueberry pie filling (or any pie filling with fruit) about 3-4 tablespoons worth and blend together.

Fill the top half as well, and place onto the bottom half.

For the glazing on the cake, mix lemon juice with powdered sugar, you want the consistency to be a little more runny then cinnamon roll frosting. Use a wisk.

Now spoon the lemon glaze onto the cake, make sure you completely cover the top and have enough in the bottom of the glass bowl to form a good sized pool. The cake will absorb most of this and makes it to die for!

Sprinkle with powdered sugar and garnish with a blueberry and heart shaped toothpick. Place in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours uncovered. Serve chilled.

Now enjoy a very refreshing lemony treat! This is what I made Alan for Valentines day. <3
