Lemon Sunshine Cake

This cake is my idea of a bright summer day, sharp lemon, soft sponge, smooth buttercream and just enough raspberry to make everything feel lifted. I wanted it to have that lovely citrus freshness without becoming thin or sour, so the zesty lemon sponge is layered with silky vanilla Swiss meringue buttercream, then finished with marbled yellow and pink buttercream, lemon and raspberry macarons, and crisp pink chocolate pearls. It is light, cheerful and clean on the palate, with the lemon doing the sparkling and the raspberry bringing a little blush of fruit.
