While the cakes are cooling, make the lemon curd filling. In a medium saucepan, whisk together the lemon juice, sugar, and eggs. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted and well combined. Transfer the lemon curd to a bowl and refrigerate until chilled.
