Directions:Chill the bowl and wire whip of an electric mixer in freezer. Whisk together flour and baking powder; keep scalded milk hot. In an electric mixer beat eggs until thick and lemon colored. Gradually beat in sugar and lemon extract. Quickly add flour mixture. Stir just until mixed . Gently stir in hot milk mixture. Pour into greased 9x9x2 inch pan. Bake in 350 degrees oven for 30 to 35 minute. Cool completely.
While cake is baking combine the ingredients for the tres leches and set aside.
Remove a slice horizontally from both the top and bottom of the cooled cake. You will want the center slice to be approximately 1/2 half inch thick. Return the center slice to the baking pan. Save remaining cake for another purpose . Drizzle some of the tres leches sauce over the cake but not so much as to make it soggy.
In a small saucepan combine the lemon juice, 2 tablespoons simple syrup and gelatin. Stir to soften the gelatin. Place over low heat and cook until the gelatin dissolves, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and pour into a mixing bowl. Remove the bowl and whip from the freezer and add the heavy cream. Whip the cream until soft peaks form. Combine the gelatin mixture, lemon zest and lemon curd. Mix well. Add the lemon mixture to the whipped cream. Continue to beat until the cream forms stiff peaks.
Spread lemon cream over cake and place in the refrigerator to set for 3 to 4 hours
To serve, pour tres leches sauce on plate, top with a square of the cake and dollops of the whipped cream. Drizzle with a tiny bit of the sauce.
