Place flour, sugar and butter in a food processor and blend until mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs. Add eggs and mix to a soft dough.
Press 2/3 of dough into a well-greased or baking-paper-lined 25 cm springform cake tin. Spread lemon curd over dough and crumble small pieces of remaining dough over curd layer.
Bake for 35-40 minutes at 180C. Cool on a wire rack.
Dust with icing sugar and serve with whipped cream. Extra lemon curd can be served as a sauce.
Lemon Curd Finely grate lemon rind and squeeze the juice of the lemons. Place in a bowl, add butter and sugar. Place bowl over a saucepan of hot water and heat until the butter has melted. In a separate bowl beat the eggs and add to lemon mixture stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Cool.
