Olive Garden Lemon Cream Cake
This recipe for the Olive Garden's Lemon Cream Cake is from Todd Weber’s Top Secret Restaurant Recipes #2. The secret to success with this cake is chilling everything along the way and then before serving. I would probably make the cake from my pantry ingredients and skip the cake mix. I would probably also create two cake layers, so you wouldn’t have to slice through the one, but here it is:

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup cold butter
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
Instructions
- Make white cake following directions on the box. Trace a 10" cake pan or springform pan on a piece of parchment paper or wax paper and cut. Grease cake pan and place paper in bottom of pan. Pour batter into pan and bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes. Allow cake to cool and refrigerate one hour.
- Make lemon cream filling. Mix together cream cheese and powdered sugar in medium bowl with an electric mixer until smooth. Mix in lemon juice.
- Whip cream in a large bowl with electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold cream cheese mixture into the whipped cream carefully until blended. Refrigerate one hour.
- Make crumb topping. Combine flour and powdered sugar in medium bowl. Add butter by cutting with two knives. Add in vanilla. Mixture will be crumbly. Chill until ready to use.
- Remove cake from the pan and peel off the paper. Place on cake plate. Carefully slice cake through the middle horizontally, so you have two layers and set aside top half. Spread all but 1 cup of the lemon cream mixture onto the bottom half of the cake. Carefully replace the top half of the cake.
- Spread remaining 1 cup of cream filling over the top of the cake and onto the sides. Sprinkle crumb topping on top of cake and down the sides. Chill cake for 3 hours. Makes 12 servings.
