Repeat the whole process one more time and finish with a final layer of lemon curd. Garnish with whipped cream and 2 strawberry slices.

Lemon Curd:
In a medium sauce pan, whisk together the eggs, sugar, lemon juice and orange juice until blended. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly until the mixture just comes to a boil. The mixture will thicken. Remove from heat and immediately pour through a strainer to remove any lumps. Cut the butter into small pieces and whisk into mixture until the butter has melted. The lemon curd will continue to thicken as it cools. When mixture is cooled fold in whipped cream. When finished cover, label, date, and refrigerate.

Lemon Pound Cake:
Mix ¾’s of the water, oil, lemon rind, and lemon extract together. Add eggs to the above mixture. Add the remaining water. Beat until fluffy. Bake in 350 degree DECK oven for 1.5 hrs.
