Look for lemon curd on the jam and jelly aisle of your supermarket.
List of Ingredients
1 (18.25-ounce) package white cake mix
3 egg whites
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon lemon extract
1 (16-ounce) jar pineapple preserves
1/2 cup lemon curd
1 (16-ounce) container cream cheese frosting
1 (6-ounce) package frozen flaked coconut, thawed
Garnish: fresh mint sprig
Recipe
Beat first 5 ingredients at low speed with an electric mixer 30 seconds or just until moistened; beat at medium speed 2 minutes. Pour batter evenly into 2 greased and floured 9-inch round cake pans.
Bake at 350° for 20 to 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Remove from pans immediately; cool layers completely on wire racks.
Combine preserves and lemon curd. Spread 3/4 cup filling between cake layers; spread remaining filling on top of cake. Spread frosting on sides of cake; gently press coconut evenly onto sides of cake. Garnish, if desired.
