I made this for my future sister in laws Bridal shower and everyone loved it and were shocked when I said I made it because they thought it was gotten from a bakery. I made 2 lemon layers, 2 almond cake layers and used a plain cream cheese frosting and a blackberry compote between the layers, it was honestly heavenly! I reduced the amount of powered sugar in the frosting to only 2 cups because I thought the sweetness to cream cheese tang was just right at only 2 cups. Thank you John for the amazing recipes!

John, 12 years ago, my mother-in-law was turning 80 (she's still with us). Our daughter, then an 8th grader, made and decorated a huge lemon cake for the party. It was big enough to feed 40 people. When it came to the frosting, she sent her Dad to the store for lemons, and he came back with only one teeny little thing. We finally ended up using two pounds of lemons. The cake was so yummy that the frosting tasted like lemonade. After the party, all the kids kept sneaking extra cake for tbeir midnight snacks. By morning the whole thing was gone. Best cake we ever had. I do still want to try yours, too.

Lemon Cake recipe 2½ cups all-purpose flour (300g) ¾ tsp salt 1½ tsp baking powder ½ tsp baking soda 1 cup unsalted butter (226g), softened 1½ cups of granulated sugar (300g) 2 tbsp lemon zest (about 2 lemons) ¼ cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons) 3 large eggs 1 cup buttermilk (240mL) 1 tbsp vanilla extract Bake at 350 for 35 to 40 mins Cream Cheese Lemon Frosting 8 oz. soft cream cheese (226g) 1 cup unsalted butter (226g) room temp 1 tbsp lemon zest (about 1 lemon) 7 cups confectioners' sugar (840g) 2 tbsp lemon juice (about 1 lemon) ½ tsp vanilla extract

I don't even want to watch anyone else's cooking channel. You awoke my love for pastries. Please don't stop making videos.

My daughter made this cake for my 45th birthday! It was sooooo delicious and beautiful! Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes!

Hey, I'm from Jordan, Middle East. I made this recipe and just the smell while it's in the oven took my heart. The taste is amazing and I love how much quality you put in it (and when you talked about your childhood). Thank you so much :') ❤️❤️ Ps:the greatest thing in adulthood that you can eat a lot of cake batter without permission 😂😍😍.

I made this cake over the weekend. It truly is amazing!!!

I never leave a comment but THIS, this is important. If you are thinking of giving this recipe a try, stop looking through your search results! I made this humongous cake (for our asian family of 4 with mostly old people) thinking that we'd never be able to finish it. I couldn't have been more wrong. By the third day, the cake was still insanely moist and as mouth-watering as the very first slice. Just a side note, I only added in roughly 2/3 of the amount of powdered sugar stated in the recipe to get that "not too sweet" compliment from my Viet grandma.

The cake looks so delicious my mouth was watering! Another absolutely amazing recipe. Thank you

I literally bought a whole lemon tree yesterday that had a few lemons ready to be picked. This is genuinely divine timing 🤣

That looks delicious! And the bench scraper is a great idea. I will try that next time I frost a cake. Also wise to do the dollop test on something else first. I made carrot cupcakes for Easter and decorated them with little "carrots" that did not at all look like carrots, but something less appropriate for children. Ended up swirling them into the top of the cupcakes.

Made this today. Huge success. Everything I have tried on your channel has been a win. Thanks.

Dear John, I made this cake for an Easter lunch. I make cakes, but usually they are simple. I make Maida Heater's 62nd Street Bundt Cake with lemon syrup, or a Texas sheet cake where I pour the frosting on the top. I also make a cake in a loaf pan that has a liquidy chocolate core (it ships well). Nothing with layers or "dollops". There's something about your kind, gentle and encouraging teaching style that made me think "I can make this layer cake!". I wanted to use lemon curd between the layers, and one of my running buddies told me to pool it in the center and pipe a ring of frosting around it. It was a success! One of my guests asked for seconds, and a good friend who is a restauraunter said it was a "triumph". Thank you for coaxing me out of my comfort zone! Lorraine

Perfect timing! My fiancé has a birthday tomorrow and lemon is his favorite flavor! I'll make this for the party! Always love the videos, thank you!
