Poppy Seed Swirled Lemon Curd Cake

What better way to celebrate spring than with this poppy seed swirled lemon curd cake! Between the striking swirled cake layers is a tart homemade lemon curd, and on the outside is a swoon-worthy cream cheese german buttercream. Its custardy pastry cream base pairs beautifully with the nutty poppy seeds and lip-puckering lemon curd!

Notes

Use cake strips to create flat cake layers. Soak these wilton cake strips in ice water before starting the cake batter. Just before baking, wrap the cake strips around the pan. The cold temperature on the outside of the cake will prevent the edges from baking faster than the center, resulting in an evenly baked flat cake. Freeze the cake layers before decorating. Since this is such a moist cake, I highly recommend freezing the cake layers for at least two hours before decorating. To create smooth sides when cake decorating... Run an offset spatula (or any cake decorating tool) under hot water, then wipe dry and use immediately to spread the frosting on the cake. The hot tool will help create smooth sides!
