Ingredients

Servings:8
  • 2 cups All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup Unsulfured molasses
  • 1 cup Granulated sugar
  • 1 cup Buttermilk
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup Fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon Baking soda
  • 2 pieces Large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups Heavy whipping cream
  • 4 ounces Cream cheese

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 8-inch round cake pans.

  2. 2

    Cream together the butter and sugar until fluffy, then beat in the eggs one at a time.

  3. 3

    Whisk together the flour, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and baking soda in a separate bowl.

  4. 4

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, alternating with buttermilk and molasses until a smooth velvet batter forms.

  5. 5

    Divide the batter between pans and bake for 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean; let cool completely.

  6. 6

    Prepare the lemon layer by whisking the lemon juice, zest, and a portion of sugar over a double boiler until thickened into a curd.

  7. 7

    Whip the heavy cream with cream cheese, remaining cinnamon, and a touch of sugar until stiff peaks form.

  8. 8

    Assemble by placing one cake layer down, spreading the lemon curd evenly, topping with the second cake layer, and finishing with the cinnamon whipped velvet frosting.
