Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the milk, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
Mix the flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl.
Gradually add the dry 幸福的一家1—6小说在线阅读 to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Whip the heavy cream, mascarpone, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

Once the cakes are completely cool, spread lemon curd between the layers, then frost the top and sides with the mascarpone whipped frosting.
For the meringue topping, beat the egg whites until soft peaks, gradually add the sugar and continue beating until stiff peaks.
Spread the meringue over the frosted cake and toast it lightly with a kitchen torch until golden brown.
Slice and serve to enjoy this lemony delight.

Ensure all 幸福的一家1—6小说在线阅读 are at room temperature for the best results. Consider adding berries for serving.
