👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Cake

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line two 8-inch cake pans.

Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla.

Alternate adding dry ingredients and buttermilk, mixing just until combined.

Divide batter evenly and bake 25–30 minutes. Cool completely.

Step 2: Make Chantilly Cream

Beat heavy cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, mix mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Gently fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture.

Step 3: Assemble Cake

Place one cake layer on serving plate. Spread generous layer of Chantilly cream. Top with second cake layer and frost entire cake.

Garnish with lemon slices, berries, or zest.

Chill 1 hour before serving for best texture.
