4.) One at a time gradually add the eggs, beating well after each one is added.
5.) Sift the flour and fold in with a metal spoon.
6.) Fold in lemon rind and milk lightly and evenly.
7.) Spoon the mixture into the prepared tins and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and springy to the touch.
8.) Leave the cakes to cool in the tins for 2-3mins, then turn out onto a wire rack to finish cooling.
For The Butter Icing:
Beat together the butter, icing sugar and lemon juice until smooth.
Mix about 3 tablespoons of the buttercream with the lemon curd.
Use the lemon curd mix spread all over one and sandwich the two cakes together.
Spread the remaining butter icing over the top of the cake.
