Method
Step 1 of 5
Preheat oven to 160°C. Grease two 20x5cm-deep round cake pans and line bases with baking paper.
Step 2 of 5
Combine flour, sugar, almond meal and lemon rind in a large bowl.
Step 3 of 5
Whisk butter, buttermilk, eggs, vanilla and lemon juice in a bowl. Add to flour mixture and stir well to combine. Divide mixture among cake pans and smooth tops. Bake for 35 minutes or until cooked when tested in centre with a skewer. Stand for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool.
Step 4 of 5
When cakes are cold, slice each in half horizontally, to make 4 layers in total. Place 1 layer on an oven tray and spread with 1/3 of the lemon curd. Continue with remaining layers and curd.
Step 5 of 5
Preheat oven to 200°C. Using electric beaters, beat egg whites until frothy. Gradually beat in extra 1 cup of caster sugar, 1 tbs at a time, until thick and glossy. Spread meringue over top and sides of cake, creating swirls and peaks. Bake for 10 minutes or until meringue is light golden. Stand for 10 minutes before transferring to a serving plate.
