Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 3 8-inch cake pans.
- Mix the cake mix, water, eggs, and vegetable oil as directed on the package, and pour batter into prepared cake pans.
- Bake the layers in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool in pan at least 20 minutes or until completely cool.
- When the cake is completely cool, run a paring knife between the cake and the edge of the pan. Hold the cake pan on its side and gently tap the sides of the pan against the counter to loosen it. Cover the cake pan with a plate or cooling rack, and invert it to tip the cake out of the pan and onto the plate.
- To fill and decorate, lay a cake layer onto an oven-safe plate, and spread half the lemon filling over the bottom layer. Place a second layer gently on the lemon filling, and spread the rest of the filling on the top of the second layer. Top with third layer.
- Beat the egg whites in a bowl until they form stiff peaks, then gradually add the sugar and continue to beat until the mixture forms a fluffy, shiny meringue. Spread the meringue all over the cake like a frosting, spreading it into decorative peaks and swirls. Place the decorated cake back into the hot oven, and bake until the peaks and swirls of meringue are lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Refrigerate 4 hours to overnight, then serve cold.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Spray 2 (8-inch) round cake pans with cooking spray. Dust lightly with flour and shake out the excess.
- Reserve half of the raspberries, and combine the other half with 1 tablespoon sugar and crush with a fork. Set aside.
- Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl, stir with a fork to evenly combine the ingredients. In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
- Whisk together eggs, egg whites and sugar in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until it holds ribbons, about 2 minutes. Add the flour mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the buttermilk mixture in 2 parts, beginning and ending with the flour. Stir together by hand until evenly combined and no lumps remain.
- Pour the batter evenly into the pans. Bake in the center of the oven until a cake tester comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool on a baking rack for 10 minutes, then turn the cakes out onto a baking rack to cool completely.
- Frosting: Bring a few inches of water to a boil in a saucepan that can hold an electric mixer bowl above the water. Whisk the sugar, egg whites, water, cream of tartar, and salt in the bowl by hand. Set the bowl above the boiling water and beat with an electric hand mixer at medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 7 minutes. Remove from the heat; beat in the lemon zest and vanilla.
- To assemble the cake: Place 1 layer on a flat serving or cake plate, top side down, and spread with crushed raspberries. Top with 3/4 cup frosting, spreading gently on top of the raspberries. Place the second cake layer on top, top side up, and frost the top and sides. Decorate with the reserved raspberries.

SCOTT BIEBER'S LEMON MERINGUE CAKE
Although its meringue peaks make it look exactly like a pie, underneath the topping is a moist, lemon-flavored cake. This recipe, featured on "Martha Stewart Living" TV and brought to us by executive chef Scott Bieber, of Taste restaurant in New York City, combines elements of two classic confections into a singular dessert.

Steps:
- To make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Butter two 9-inch round cake pans. Flour pans, tapping out excess; set aside. In a medium bowl sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating to combine after each addition. Beat in the vanilla and the lemon zest. Add the flour mixture, alternating with the milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Beat until just combined.
- Divide batter between prepared pans. Bake until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven, and let stand in pans until cool, about 1 1/2 hours.
- Remove cakes from pans. Using a serrated knife, trim tops of cakes. Slice each cake horizontally into 3 layers. Place one layer on a serving platter. Spread with 1/4 cup lemon curd. Top with second layer of cake. Spread with 1/4 cup curd. Repeat with remaining cake and curd, finishing with a layer of cake. Transfer to refrigerator until ready to use, at least 2 hours.
- Remove cake from refrigerator. Spread a thin even layer of meringue over sides of cake. Mound the remaining meringue on top of cake. Use a handheld torch to brown meringue.
LEMON-MERINGUE SHEET CAKE
This burnished beauty gets its flavor from fresh lemon zest, and its stature from not-too-sweet meringue. (More than half of the sugar gets boiled into a syrup that you beat into egg whites-the result is cool, thick, and silky.) Dollop tons on top for a dramatic presentation, and if you don't have a kitchen torch, brown the peaks with a quick blast under the broiler.

Steps:
- Cake: Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush a 9-by-13-inch or 8-by-12-inch baking pan with butter. Line with parchment, leaving a 2-inch overhang on long sides. Butter parchment.
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Combine eggs and sugar in the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on high speed until thick and pale, about 4 minutes. Add flour mixture; beat just to combine. Add butter, lemon zest, and vanilla; beat to combine. Add sour cream; beat until smooth.
- Scrape batter into prepared pan, smoothing top with a spatula. Bake until top springs back when lightly touched and a tester inserted in center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes (for 9-by-13-inch) or about 40 minutes (for 8-by-12).
- Let cool in pan on a wire rack 10 minutes. Using parchment overhangs, lift cake out of pan and let cool completely on rack. (Cake can be made to this point and stored at room temperature, wrapped in plastic, up to 1 day.)
- Meringue Frosting: Place 1 cup sugar, 5 tablespoons water, and cream of tartar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil, then cook 4 minutes. Meanwhile, beat egg whites on high speed to soft peaks, 2 to 3 minutes. Gradually add remaining 1/3 cup sugar, beating until sugar has dissolved. (If ready before sugar syrup, keep whites moving on lowest speed.)
- With mixer running, gradually pour hot syrup into meringue (aim for side of bowl, and avoid beater). Continue beating until cool to the touch and very fluffy, 4 to 5 minutes. Spread over top of cake. Lightly brown with a torch (or under broiler about 30 seconds). Frosted cake is best the day it's assembled.

Steps:

- For meringue, beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl stiff peaks form. Slowly add powdered sugar and continue beating until mixture is thick and creamy. Beat in vanilla. Mound meringue into two 8-inch circles (one on each baking sheet)
- Reduce the temperature to 245 degrees F (118 degrees C) and place meringues in the oven. Cook for 90 minutes. Turn off the oven and leave meringues in until cooled, 2 to 4 hours. Remove from the oven and set aside until needed.
- While the meringue is cooling, prepare lemon curd filling: Bring water to a steady simmer in a double-boiler pan over medium heat. In the top portion of the double boiler, off the heat, whisk together lemon juice, eggs, and egg yolks. Place the top portion of the double boiler over the simmering water and continue to whisk until mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. Add butter and whisk until it is melted into the mixture. Remove from the heat, cover, and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray the bottom and sides of an 8-inch round cake pan with cooking spray. Line the bottom pan with parchment paper and spray that with cooking spray. Dust with flour.
- Prepare cake: Sift cake flour, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl.
- Cream sugar and butter in a large bowl with an electric mixer until fluffy. Add eggs and beat until incorporated. Mix in milk, lemon zest, and vanilla and lemon extracts until smooth. Slowly add dry ingredients and mix just until blended. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
- Remove cake from the oven and set on a wire rack until completely cool, about 30 minutes. Run a butter knife around the edges to ensure the sides are free; remove cake from the pan and set aside.
- Whip cream for topping in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl with an electric mixer. Add sugar and beat until incorporated.
- Place one meringue on a platter. Drizzle with some lemon curd and place the cake layer on top. Drizzle more lemon curd and place the second meringue on top. Top with whipped cream and garnish with lemon zest.

Steps:
- CAKE: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Generously grease and flour a Bundt pan. In a Mixmaster, mix all the ingredients on low until blended. Then beat for three minutes on medium speed. Pour batter into Bundt pan. Tilt pan and swirl batter around the outside rim about one inch above the batter. This helps the cake bake higher and flatter. Bake at 350 degrees F just until cake tester comes out clean (appx 60 minutes). Be careful not to overbake.
- GLAZE: Combine juice and sugar and mix well with a wire whisk or fork. I mix it in a large glass measuring cup that has a spout. It makes the next step easier. While the cake is still in the pan and hot, poke deep (not to the bottom) holes into the cake with the handle of a wooden spoon or anything that is round and about 1/3- inch in diameter. Make the holes starting about 1- inch from the edge and about 1- inch apart. Make about three rows of holes that zig zag so they are not in straight lines. Pour about 1 scant cup of the glaze SLOWLY into the holes and over the cake. Let the cake sit for about 15 minutes. Invert the cake onto a cake plate and tap the top and sides, or shake gently to loosen. Let it sit for a few minutes and the cake should easily release. Drizzle the rest of the glaze on top.

- Heat oven to 350°. Grease 3 eight-inch cake pans with butter and line them with parchment paper.
- Sift the flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl and set aside. Place the milk and butter in a saucepan, heat over medium-high heat to melt the butter. Bring the milk and butter to a bowl then reduce the heat to low to keep it warm while preparing the rest of the ingredients.
- Rinse a mixing bowl with hot water to warm the bowl up then dry it (the warm temperature will maximize the volume faster) Place the eggs in the bowl and begin whipping on high speed until frothy. Slowly add the sugar and continue to whip the eggs for 8 to 10 minutes until they have tripled in volume. The mixture will turn pale yellow and fall in a ribbon-like pattern when the beater is lifted.
- Turn the mixer to low and slowly add the vanilla and hot milk mixture. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low until just incorporated.
