I’ve had your book pre-ordered since February…can’t wait till to get it!!
Thank you so much! I hope you love this book filled with Super Quick and Easy recipes! ❤️
I pre ordered your book as soon as it was available. Have made several recipes from your first book and have had rave reviews from the dishes
@@PreppyKitchen can I use other spices for lemon cake like cinnamon?
@@PreppyKitchencan you write recipe in your description,because i don't know your language but i like your video,thank you chef,i write this english with translate😊
I’m a huge baker and have been for years. I actually won a prize for my pound cake when I was a Girl Scout. I’m currently undergoing immunotherapy treatments for melanoma and just don’t have the energy for baking. I did chuckle at your description of your new cookbook. I already go back to your recipes time and time again as they are always delicious.
Sending healing vibes. ~Juli in FL
Best wishes for your treatment and recovery 😇
Best wishes for your recovery 🩷🙏🏻🩷
Big hug and hopes for a speedy recovery.
Hoping you're soon back in the kitchen and feeling great!
I made John's lemon curd a few days early then baked this cake tonight and it was so easy, light and delicious! My husband isn't a dessert lover in general and he really enjoyed this one. I wrote out the measurements to share, but definitely recommend watching the entire video as it's not the usual creaming butter/sugar approach, watching it thru makes it much easier. Feel like this will be a go-to spring/summer cake for any occasion. I can't wait for that darn book!

Thank you. Please may you confirm the sweetness level? Would you tone it down or it was just perfect?
@@Eddiewits (I enjoy sweet desserts fyi)
I would not tone down the sugar as it balances the tartness. The lemons really pack a punch so if you use less sugar I'd say use less lemon as well
❤
i made this cake (and used your wonderful lemon curd recipe for the filling) this past father's day and my dad absolutely loved it. my family couldn't stop talking about how fresh and lemony this cake was, and how the frosting was absolutely to die for. you've done it again john, i fear i may be begged to continue making this cake for every occasion in the family!
TY, nice to read a comment from someone who actually tried the recipe.
And yes, you are probably now voted the family/friend to do the baking for every occasion. That's been my role for sure.
Thank you so much for admitting your mistake @preppykitchen ! It’s super helpful to know the chunks of butter should be added slowly.
I was never successful at baking, but then I found The Preppy Kitchen! My family has never been happier. Thank you for all your tutorials!
What are some tips you learned
@crishnaholmes7730 the biggest lesson was not to over mix your flour. HUGE game changer. Also, weighing your dry ingredients.
@@bezdek3505 ok and do you keep your ingredient room temperature and do you have an oven thermometer
@@crishnaholmes7730 I now keep all of my ingredients at room temp but do not have a thermometer.
1 cup of milk
2 lemons zest
3 eggs
1 spoon vanilla extract
2 lemons juice
2.5 cups flour
1.5 sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon spice
3/4 cup butter soft
2 8in cake pans
parchment paper
cake stand
Raspberry/strawberry jam or lemon curd
350 oven for 30 minutes
1 cup softened butter
1 spoon lemon zest
8 ounce cream cheese
5-7 cups powdered sugar
eyeball lemon juice
teaspoon any extract
thanks for typng it out!
Obrigada pela receita! 🇧🇷
Does it not have baking soda as well? I made this cake and it turned out to be the skinniest cake ever. It was a fail.
Could you type the rest of the instructions out as well?
I am 35 this August and you have made me more confident than I EVER have been in the kitchen; I’ve always been very intimidated.
Thank you for being so awesome! Love a Canadian Fan!
I Love Lemon Anything!!! I think the cake is Beautiful!!! I vote cake!!! God Bless Us All!!!
My husband has already made this cake for me TWICE - it's possibly my all-time favorite cake, but we did a twist. He followed all the instructions to the letter BUT changed the ICING from lemon to vanilla buttercream. The lemon in the cake and with the curd is deliciously lemony, and pretty powerfully so, so I think vanilla buttercream is the perfect accent. Anyway, it came out picture perfect twice, it's a show stopping cake! Love it. My husband says it's the "reverse procedure" that makes the cake fool proof, and I think it has a great texture and flavor, it's dense but not heavy, if that makes sense.
I've got a dozen lemons and a lemon curd already in my freezer, this is just the video I needed!
Lemon is my 1st favorite
I made this for my birthday today, and it's so good! I went all lemon with it (layer of lemon curd in the middle and on top), and I would definitely make this one again. The layer of lemon curd at the top is so pretty. Almost looks like a glass effect.
Lemon is always a wonderful option for dessert!
you're a great teacher and an encourager to try different things
John, you are a doll! Thank you for all the wonderful recipes, advice etc., you make my day and it is a joy to watch your videos!
When you say it’s the BEST…I believe you
I do make your recipes and every single cake is AMAZING, like the title of your videos. I don't just collect recipes, I practice them, you're an excellent teacher! 😊
As Julia Child said " A party without cake is just a meeting" Love that
Words to live by😊
I watch because after a long days work it’s just so relaxing. Your voice and explanation of why you do what you do is educational. I sleep easy. Then when my daughter is visiting I revisit your recipes. So thank you John. 🇦🇺🇦🇺
My mom passed away December 21, 2022. She loved any dessert that was lemon or chocolate. Shortly before she passed away I made her chocolate chip cookies for our dessert on Sunday. She would have preferred this over them.
My mum died a week ago.
I immediately made this recipe and called all my friends to celebrate.
Thanks so much!
I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope she lived a good, long, and mostly happy life. My own dear mother, who died in 2019, had multiple joys and sorrows in her 97 years, including outliving two of her children and my dad. A Celebration of Life is always such a beautiful memorial. Saying goodbye to our parents can be bittersweet; bitter from our tears for having lost them, but sweet for the memories we have of their precious presence in our lives. This cake was an excellent choice to honor both those deep emotions. May both our darling mothers be Resting in Peace. 💞
She was celebrating her mom died lol, clearly she was happy about it, must have been a terrible mother
Was she a good mom?
@danielc.1169 don't say that, don't judge.
You are very knowledgeable and still share accessible recipes, thank you!
Everything about this video made me so happy. I love lemon! 🥰
Wow….that looks ahmazing! I like it in cake form better than cupcakes, but it might depend on the occasion. Many thanks, John. This is a wonderful recipe. Love them lemons! 🍋🍋
Agreed!
I can’t wait to try this cake! It looks amazing! Thanks for your transparency and also for explaining the WHY and science in the process!
Lemon, lemon and more lemon!!! Thank you for your time and expertise. You always make me smile and trusting your instruction is so easy.
I’m obsessed with the idea of baking and frosting the cake as described but instead of putting frosting in between the layers, using a blueberry compote.
YUM! Looks so great. My mouth was watering... Love watching you... A little caution: I'd avoid chipped old pottery bowls as the glaze could contain lead or trapped bacteria. Best to test it.
Thanks so much for this recipe and instructions. I used your recipe, and the cake turned out well.
The lemon flavour in the cake was just right, not overwhelming or lost, just right. On point!
The next time I bake, I will also make the frosting.
Again, thank you for sharing
If I know when my last supper will be, I'll be having a big ol' slice of this lemon cake. It's frigging amazing. Thank you!!!
I like the idea of dry ingredients and wet mix. Thanks.
I absolutly love those things that going around the cake pan when baking. I bought them based of your recommendation sometime ago. They help from the cakes doming and you do not have to cut them to even them out before filling and frosting the cakes.
That is a great idea! Prep the dry ingredients. Thank you for the tip😊
I’ve never been good at baking, but you make me feel like I can actually do it 🥹🙏🏾🙏🏾
This lemon cake looks delicious. I enjoy your videos. I cannot wait to make it.
Great video John😊😊
It's lemon season where I'm from and I have a TON of lemons from my tree I have to use before they go bad. I've already done lemon pie, lemon pound cakes and lemonies, and I was starting to run out of ideas lol
So I'll try this one next!!
I made this along with your lemon curd for my grandmother’s 75th birthday tomorrow, looks amazing!
John, remember, MOTHER KNOWS BEST!!!! This looks delicious, definitely going to make it.
I love that you are humble enough to show your mistakes, thanks for a lovely recipe, love from the UK x
Oh my, my husband and I cannot wait to try this recipe, thank you 🍋🍋🍰
Wonderfully clean and forward lemon cake. See I'm a sicko for the more lemon and tartness kick the happier I am. So here's my tiny 2 cents added. I'll be adding a dash of citric acid to each component for that ultimate tart lemony punch. Congrats on the book and happy baking friends! 🍋🍰🎉
Ohhh that new cookbook sounds aaamazing!
Thank you! This book is nothing but quick and easy recipes, so all us busy people can get lots of delicious food on the table and have some fun in the kitchen.
Dear John .due to various obligations, I have not been baking for some t8ime now .as soon as I have t8he time, this is the first recipe I will make.
I will be making this as a cake on Father’s Day. Great recipe, thanks. 😊
same!
I am baking your treats often and making your main dish recipes frequently too. Thank you. Oh yeah! I did purchase your book.
As someone who loves to cook but has energy limits chronic illness you new book is definitely high on my shopping list.
The texture of this cake looks so delicious, you’ve inspired me to try the reverse creaming method, thank you! 😋
'feels like i am in a class room of baking class :) ..so clear & full of hint's in the procedure . simply the best !
I tried this. It's a really good lemon cake. You can very much taste it lemony. I love it!
One note though: I'd skip adding sugar on to the dry ingredients. The cake turned out waaaaay too sweet (some couldn't finish an entire slice). Sweet coming from the frosting is more than enough ^^
Omgosh this looks amazing 🤩
I love everything lemon! People think I'm crazy because I will just eat a lemon...lol... I cant wait to make this! Have to make a trip to the store tomorrow. I appreciate that you leave in your "Ooopsies" shows us all mistakes happen!
OMG!!! This looks so lemony delicious!!!! LOVE lemon desserts!! ❤🍋
I've made this twice and it's a massive hit with everybody.
We made this cake today for Father's Day, in a rectangular pan. I didn't have lemon curd, so added a lot of extra lemon juice to the frosting. It's more of a slightly thick glaze and super tangy. My family loved it!
Ohh I'm in love! I want to bake this for my husband 💖✨✨
Love lemon everything ❤
I just made this recipe into cupcakes. Oh my goodness, it melts in the mouth!!! I can't wait to see how my coworkers enjoy them!!!
This looks easy to make. More importantly, it looks delicious! This is a summer winner.
Tried this cake with lemon curd. Came out really well. Lots of love from India ❤
Love all your recipes- thank you for sharing in your quite & informative way
Looks really sweet. I want the frosting with the thickness but without that much sugar and everyone I know agrees that baked goods are just too sweet. I love stabilized whipped cream with gelatin mixed with stabilized cream cheese done with cream of tarter. That was so fabulous.
I come straight to your videos.
I've been really successful with all your recipes.
Thank you so much 🙏🏽
❤ your show 😊
I’ve been obsessed with your channel ever since I found it. I love you videos
Looks good yum
Thanks for explaining about gluten formation I stay away from that & no milk/cream etc. Like yogurt - strawberry, banana & vanilla! All great with cocoa choc. Bless Basger.
I absolutely adore your videos and recipes. I bake a lot for the people I volunteer with, so cupcakes are perfect!! I can't wait to make this recipe!!!!!
It's tempting... U make look so easy to make that I feel motivated to bake
It will become easy, just practice🤣
I love lemon, I have been trying around taking a lemon cake, cheesecake doing layers, with lemon curd in between layers....
First off, let me out I am a cook not a baker big difference. I gave this a try and it was amazing. I did not burn down my house, my kitchen or set the smoke alarm off. The only thing that I did wrong was forgetting to add the frosting and curd in between the two cakes. Will be given this another go because of the flavor. Oh yeah and I used only a half a cup of butter and 1/4 cup of Meyer lemon olive oil. Took the lemon flavor over the finish line.
I love the flavor of all things lemon. Cake or cupcakes, hmm 🤔, why not both.
Thanks for this amazing recipe.
Great for summer parties.
It's great to see a well loved cupcake pan! Just like home. 😊😗
I watched this on my TV earlier but seen this on my phone so had to click to give it a like! As well as comment thank you cause I like lemon desserts!
Love it! Now can we make an updated Lemon and Raspberry cake! I would really love to see a new version! Love your previous recipe!
Love your recipes. Love the way you explained EVERYTHING. Step by Step and why. Excellent ❤
This is my mother’s favorite cake! I know what I’m making when she comes to visit next week 😉
😱 I love lemon flavored anything. I used to eat Lemon Heads candy every day as a young kid. Amazing I didn’t get cavities from them! I will be making this soon. Thank you!!
So tender and fluffy cake.
OH! You know the way to my heart❤. I can not wait to make this. I love fresh lemon cake with lemon curd. And you have added lemon cream cheese butter cream! I may lose my minds when I eat this. Thank you for the lemon infusion😁.
It's super easy, barely an inconvenience.
I was already on board with this one but when you said its a lemon cream cheese frosting .... OMG dude lol this is a must try for me. Ill have to make it for my Mom .. cause she LOVES lemon cakes. I know itll be amazing. 💛💛🍋🍋🍰🍰
thank you so much for another delicious looking recipe ! wishing an abundance of good health and happiness for you 💜
Your recepies are always so good! 😊
Hi John, I'm a fan of yours. Love your recipes and baking tips. From Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Summer...the season of lemons. Or lemon desserts I'll take both.
Love to bake! Love your recipes! Sadly, I’m the only one in my family that enjoys cake. I have to cut recipes down to 1/2 or 1/4. Still delicious not matter the size.
Okay sir, I'm gonna trust you and make this for my best friend's birthday. Looks divine.
That's the best looking lemon cake
I love watching your videos! I have one question - if you don't have large eggs can you add one more? Or what is the best way to solve this problem. Thank you so much for all the time you spend enriching our lives.
I am so lookin forward to the new book. I only got the first one a couple of months ago but I love it and have already made some of the recipes.
I also really appreciate seeing the hand mixer! Basically every chef bro only uses a kitchenaid stand mixer but we don't all have one of those!
Omgosh! I'm so mad at you bc I can't have a slice or two, John! From the beginning until the end, a dream cake, my fav 😍 😋😋😋😋😋😋
🍋 is my favorite flavor.😊
Magic 🎩 👌 hmmmmmm my goodness no words you tooo Talented you are the Best many thanks 🙏 God bless your family 🙏 much appreciated 🙏
Here in the UK we don’t have bleached flour.
I once tried the reverse creaming method following a Rose Berenbaum recipe. It was a failure and apparently it’s because the reverse creaming method relies on the flour being bleached. Apparently there some science involved in this.
So I bought some imported bleached flour on Amazon and it worked a treat.
I learned so much from this video. Excited to try it. Thank you!
I like your all recipes especially lemon layer cake omg 😋😋 plzzzz one request for you you made some mutton chops recipes plzzzz.
I have made your chocolate cake many times now and it’s loved by my family, this looks delicious, guess I will have to try 👩🏻🍳
I love all your videos! ❤ I got so many compliments when I made your recipes for a family gathering recently 😊 I told everyone about you! I love cooking and baking because of you!
