The Cake:
The stencil that I used for powdered-sugar-decoration was a quick design that did on the computer, then printed up and cut out.
Though the lemon mousse (homemade lemon curd mixed with whipped cream) isn't part of the original recipe, I wanted to break away from the usual cakes coming out of my kitchen as of late.
This is undoubtedly one of my favorite cakes I've baked thus far.
It tastes wonderful, has great texture, and is not too sweet. I always tend to love lemon and almond together, and the airiness of the mousse was a nice contrast to the sand-sized denseness of the finely-ground almonds. (Side note, if you've never blanched your own almonds before, I highly recommend it—easy and rather meditative!)
There are many (mostly identical) recipes for the cake online, but the one that I chose to go with can be found here.
