CREAM SHORTENING, ADD SUGAR GRADUALLY. CREAM UNTIL MIXTURE IS VERY FLUFFY. ADD EGGS ONE AT A TIME, BEATING WELL AFTER EACH ADDITION. SIFT FLOUR, BAKING POWDER AND SALT TOGETHER, ADD TO MIXTURE ALTERNATELY WITH MILK. ADD FLAVORINGS. SPREAD APPROXIMATELY 2/3 CUP TO 3/4 CUP DOUGH IN EACH 3 1/2 PAN AND BAKE 5 OR 6 MIN. AT 350 DEGREES.

Eggless Lemon Curd Cake with Easy Buttercream Frosting
Eggless Lemon Curd Cake – The cake turned out so soft and moist. This eggless lemon curd is so easy to make and yet you can’t really tell it’s made without eggs. I added some colours to it with the help of turmeric powder, it’s absolutely optional. I thought this is a good way to avoid a chemical product and yet taste just the same. You can either omit or use a yellow food colouring. It is well blended with eggless Buttercream. Instead of using powdered sugar I used condensed milk. The sweetness is so delicious, and the amazing thing is the buttercream is not grainy at all, it’s soft and smooth. Since I’m using the curd as the filling, I made it slightly thicker, so that the layer is firm and nice. You can make the lemon curd in advance and store in fridge for at least 5 days. I hope you’re inspired to make this at home.
