  Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.
  
  Line bottoms of 2 greased 9" round baking pans with
  parchment; grease parchment.
  
  Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 5-7
  minutes. Add eggs and egg yolks, 1 at a time, beating
  well after each addition. Beat in lemon zest and juice.
  In a small bowl, mix sour cream and milk. In another
  bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder and
  baking soda; add to creamed mixture alternately with
  sour cream mixture.
  
  Transfer to prepared pans. Bake until a toothpick
  inserted in center comes out clean, 24-28 minutes. Cool
  in pans 10 minutes before removing to wire racks; remove
  parchment. Cool slightly.
  
  For syrup, in a small saucepan, combine sugar and lemon
  juice. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by
  half. Cool completely.
  
  For frosting, beat cream cheese and butter until smooth;
  beat in confectioners’ sugar, lemon juice and salt until
  blended.
  
  Using a long serrated knife, cut each cake horizontally
  in half. Brush layers with warm syrup; cool completely.
  
  Place 1 cake layer on a serving plate; spread with 1 cup
  frosting. Repeat layers twice. Top with remaining cake
  layer. Frost top and sides with remaining frosting. If
  desired, top with lemon slices or edible flowers.
  Refrigerate leftovers.
