Directions
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.

actually nevermind...you need all 16 egg yolks from the curd recipe for the double recipe of meringue.

Mspike, you might try using a lemon curd recipe that requires fewer eggs since you only need 1 1/4 cups of it. You could also buy lemon curd.

This cake looks great, but I'm not going to bother with it as it calls for a crazy # of eggs. Maybe when I can get past that I'll try it.

This is the most delicious cake. If you love lemon meringue pie, you'll go nuts for this one!! I've made this cake for family and friends and they are amazed on how beautiful and yummy it is! The blow torch is a must for browning the meringue but work fast because it does brown quickly. I've even added some royal icing flowers for a birthday cake theme which were dotted ontop of the meringue! :-)
