The filling
- To make the buttercream, beat the Flora spread, icing sugar and lemon zest in a food mixer for 3-4 minutes until very light and fluffy.
- When the cakes are completely cool, spread the jam over the bottom cake. Top it with the fluffy buttercream.
- Carefully sandwich the two cakes, and sprinkle the top with icing sugar. You can decorate the cake with some fresh red fruits.
- Enjoy!
