- Lemon Curd: In a saucepan, combine the lemon juice, butter and one-half c. sugar over medium heat.
- Whisk together the remaining sugar and the cornstarch. Add in the Large eggs and whisk till smooth.
- When the lemon juice mix comes to a boil, remove it from the heat and slowly pour it into the egg mix, whisking constantly, till fully incorporated.
- Return the mix to the saucepan and whisk vigorously over medium heat till thickened, about 4 min.
- Strain the curd through a fine mesh strainer into another bowl and cold by placing it in a larger bowl filled with ice cubes and water. Set aside. (Makes 2 1/2 c.)
- Pistachio-Citrus Cake: In large bowl, whisk together the Large eggs and sugar till light and frothy. Slowly pour in the extra virgin olive oil and orange juice and continue to whisk till incorporated.
- Sift together the flour, baking pwdr and salt. Add in the pistachios to the flour mix, then gently fold the pistachio-flour mix into the batter.
- Spoon the batter into a buttered and floured 9-inch cake pan. Bake on the center rack of a 350-degree oven till a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 35 to 40 min.
- Remove the cake from the oven and let it cold on a rack to room temperature. When it's cold, remove it from the cake pan and, using a serrated knife, slice it in half to create two equal round discs or possibly layers of cake. Place wax paper between the two layers and set aside.
- Assembly: Line a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper. Place one layer of the pistachio-citrus cake in the bottom of the springform pan.
- In a large bowl, fold the whipped cream into the lemon curd.
- Spoon one-fourth of the lemon-cream mix proportionately over the cake layer. Distribute half the berries proportionately over the lemon-cream layer. Spread another one-fourth of the lemon-cream mix over the fruit and place the second cake layer on top, pressing it gently so which it sits proportionately. Spread the second layer with lemon-cream mix and fruit.
- Spread the remaining lemon-cream mix over the top.
- Chill the Meyer lemon trifle cake for two to three hrs or possibly overnight to set.
- This recipe yields 12 to 14 servings.
- Comments: If Meyer lemons are not available, you may substitute regular lemons.
