I found this recipe hard to follow. Maybe because I was tired, but I was confused around the part where it says to mix the egg yolks with the "hot liquid". I honestly thought they wanted me to boil water and mix it in. I actually started boiling the water until I reread the recipe a couple of times. Also, when it says cook it "until it coats the spoon", I had absolutely no idea what that meant. While I was mixing it, I kept asking myself "is it coating the spoon now??"

But when I finally figured everything out, and let it rest, the lemon curd topping looked great! The only changes I made to this recipe was I used bottled lemon concentrate (only 1/4 cup) and I used untoasted, sweetened coconut.

Since I thought that this cake is pretty dry in the first place, the addition of this lemon topping made it perfect. A little too sweet for my liking (maybe because I added less lemon than the recipe suggests), but good nonetheless. I think that any extra lemon curd can be used for other purposes. I will try it tomorrow on my crepes, because I think it will taste amazing.

I didn't mind the lemon and the coconut very nice fresh teast and also very light I would recommend this to try to make didn't take very long to make either

I made something very similar to this recipe and I found it very good. The only thing I didn't like was the addition of the coconut. I didn't find it went well with the lemon and could have been left out. This cake wasn't too sweet and it had a really lovely lemon flavour. It was quite easy to make too.

Very quick and easy recipie. I didn't like it that much but my mother and grand parents did. They said it added nice flavour to the mccanes cake. Think the cake way better without it
