4 -5 lemons
1 1/3 cups sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 eggs
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup unsalted butter, cut into cubes
450 g angel food cake mix (or homemade)
1/3 cup pistachios, coarsely chopped
pistachios, as garnish
white chocolate (grated or curls)

1
Finely grate peel from 2 lemons (save for cake), then squeeze out 1 cup juice. In a medium large sauce pan, whisk sugar with cornstarch. Whisk in lemon juice, eggs and egg yolks until blended. Set over medium heat, stirring constantly until mixture boils, 7 - 10 minutes (cornstarch will prevent it from curdling).
2
Remove from heat and stir in cubes of butter until combined. Sieve into a bowl. Place a piece of plastic wrap on surface and refrigerate until cold.
3
Prepare angel food cake as per instructions, folding in lemon peel at the end. Bake and cool as directed on package. When cake is cooled, cut horizontally in half.
4
Place bottom layer on a cake plate and spread with about half of the lemon curd. Place top of cake on curd. Spread top with a layer of curd (there will likely be leftover curd).
5
Sprinkle with pistachios and chocolate.
