Cake
  1. Preheat oven to 160°C fan forced. Grease and line a (25cm x 30cm) lamington pan with baking paper
  2. Sift flour and baking powder together; set aside
  3. Assemble mixer with the scraper beater and the large mixer bowl. Add butter and sugar to bowl. Slowly turn mixer to CREAM/BEAT for 3-4 minutes or until pale and creamy

  5. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes or until a skewer inserted in centre comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack lined with baking paper. Leave turned upside down
Lemon Curd
  1. Beat the egg, egg yolk and strain into a heat proof bowl. Whisk through sugar, lemon rind and juice and butter
  2. Place bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the base of the bowl does not touch the water. Stir the mixture over simmering water for about 15-20 minutes, or until curd has thickened
  3. Transfer to another bowl, cover with plastic wrap with a small side of the bowl uncovered to allow steam to escape and refrigerate until cold
Swiss Meringue

  4. To assemble, use a 5.5cm round cutter and cut 16 rounds from the cake
  5. Spread 1-2 teaspoons of lemon curd onto half of the rounds. With the remaining rounds pipe or shape with a spoon, approximately 2 tablespoons of meringue onto each. Place meringue rounds on top of lemon curd
  6. Using a chef's blow torch, lightly colour outside of meringue. Serve
