Triple Lemon Chiffon Cake

Better get a chicken because this recipe uses 13 eggs! Eight in the 9" chiffon cake and 5 more in the lemon curd. I made mine with Meyer lemons.

The layers are filled with lemon curd and topped with a whipped cream with lemon curd frosting. Light as air.

    Mary, the cake looks gorgeous! 13 eggs!! At least there's no butter in this cake, or at least not in the chiffon portion.

    Wow, your chiffon rose fabulously. It looks perfectly light and airy. And that curd and whipped cream, well, they look divine as well. Put them all together and you have one stellar cake! Great job!

    Beautiful, and 13 eggs is a lot of eggs. But if it makes a cake like that it is totally worth it.

    Oh, your cake is sooo cute. I love the little decorations. I only made 1/2 the recipe so only used 5 eggs. Still I think I need a chicken AND a lemon tree.
