In reply to Mary Ann Mrs Brown. Hi Mary Ann! We would estimate you would need about ⅓-½ cup.

I made the lemon curd recipes that uses 6 egg yolks. How much of that curd do I need to make the frosting as shown on this page?

In reply to Amy Humes. Hi Amy! Unfortunately I haven't measured it out. I think it would be about 6-7 ounces, but I can't say for sure. :(

Thank you for this recipe! Can’t wait to make it for my mother’s 85th birthday cake. I just made a batch and a half of your full lemon curd recipe (not the smaller one written here for the frosting), as I want to put curd between the cake layers as well. How much should I add to the frosting? Do you have a measured amount? Thank you!

In reply to Stephanie Gierhart. Hi Stephanie! If you are doubling the recipe you will want to double all of the ingredients in the recipe. :)

Hello. If I make the lemon frosting of 24 servings do I use 2/3 cup of lemon curd or the whole thing I made? Thank you!!

In reply to Stephanie Gierhart. If you wanted to double the recipe you would just double all of the ingredients in the recipe. :)

In reply to Helen. Hi Helen! I think this comment was meant for another recipe, but yes this frosting will cover a 2 layer 9 inch cake. :)

Could this be made as a 2 layer cake using 9″ pans?

In reply to Stephanie Gierhart. Hi Stephanie! Short of increasing all of the other ingredients I don't really have a great solution. :(

Absolutely amazing recipe!!

I accidentally misread the lemon juice measurement so now the frosting is too lemony. How can I fix that?

can you double the lemon frosting

In reply to Teresa. Hi Teresa! Unfortunately I have not experimented using mascarpone instead of butter.

Do you have a version of this frosting using marscapone instead of butter?

This frosting is the only lemon frosting I will ever use! It has the best lemon flavor I have tasted in a frosting so far without being too sweet. Paired beautifully with your lemon blueberry cake that I made for my Godson’s 5th birthday party. Everyone raved about it and even asked where the cake was bought! Thank you for sharing your recipes and techniques with us!

In reply to Alicia Eakins. Hi Alicia! This recipe makes about 1/3 cup (in the frosting). The regular lemon curd is slightly thinner so you may need a little less. I would add it gradually to make sure the frosting doesn't become too thin.

hello! Are you able to tell me how much total lemon curd is in this recipe? I ask because I already made a double batch of your curd and it’s in my fridge. Some of it has been eaten so I can’t even do the math to reverse engineer how much of my existing curd I need to use! I plan to make this frosting this weekend when I make your lemon blueberry cake.
