5. Bake the cake: ๐ Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Once done, remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes. Transfer the cakes to a wire rack to cool completely. ๐
6. Make the lemon cream cheese frosting: ๐ In a large bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract for a tangy, creamy frosting with a bright lemon flavor. ๐ง
7. Assemble the cake: ๐ฐ Once the cake layers are fully cooled, spread a generous layer of lemon cream cheese frosting on top of one layer. Place the second layer on top and frost the entire cake with the remaining frosting. Smooth the top and sides of the cake and garnish with extra lemon zest if desired. ๐ฅ
8. Serve and enjoy: ๐ฟ Slice and serve this vibrant, zesty Lemon Velvet Cake. The tangy lemon cream cheese frosting complements the soft, moist cake perfectly, making it the ideal dessert for any occasion. ๐ฅฐ
