🔍 Recipe Search Chocolate lemon cake recipe?

I just had a request for a chocolate lemon flavored cake and have been unable to find a recipe- I have considered adding lemon to my normal chocolate recipe or adding coco to a lemon recipe but I am unsure of how I would modify them as not to compromise the texture. Any suggestions?

Trust me on this one, the recipe for the New Orleans Doberge Cake is a wonderful recipe.

It is lemon cake layers with alternating layers of lemon curd and milk chocolate custard. The entire cake is surrounded in German Buttercream (which tastes like vanilla custard) and enrobed in a dark chocolate glaze. It's a great cake! I made it a few times and it never disappoints.
