YBD Lemon Cake (vegan)
Not all sugar is vegan. Make sure you buy sugar that has a vegan certification!
Yield: Makes 4, eight inch cakes
What do I need....
4 cups white sugar
6 cups all-purpose flour
3 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons salt
2 cups unsweetened soy or almond milk (you can use regular milk here as well)
2 cups lemon juice
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
How do I make this....
-Preheat oven to 350 F and spray pans with nonstick cooking spray.
-Using a stand mixer and whip attachment, combine sugar, flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda in the mixer and turn on low speed. This will sift the ingredients.
-Add vinegar to the milk and set aside.
-Add vanilla to the oil.
-While the mixer is running on low, add the oil mixture, milk mixture, and half of the lemon juice.
-Mix until incorporated and no lumps are found.
-Add the last bit of lemon juice and blend until fully incorporated.
-Fill pans and bake for 30-45 minutes, checking the cakes at 30 minutes for doneness. When fully baked, a toothpick inserted into the cake should come out clean.

CHALLENGE!!! Since you insist on doing all these retro nightmares from my past (although siginificantly improved, so thanks for that!) how about you do one of those doll dress cakes? This cake reminds me so much of how those were decorated.
That’s coming soon!!
JJR pick a year from the 1970s. Brandon pick a number between 1-150. Make the cake on that page number of that year's Wilton yearbook.
My mom used to do cake decorating when I was a kid, and for my third birthday she made me (at my request) a beautiful 3 tiered wedding cake complete with plastic Doric columns and individually piped roses. AND she made me a commercial airliner pinata. BEST BIRTHDAY EVER. Age three was the best. My mom is amazing.
That yellow is such a seventies yellow! It looks like it’s out of my old Wilton cake book!
Omg, I cannot believe Brandon made you drop the cake. As a "caker" myself I had a mini heart attack for you. JJR might love you again tomorrow.🤷🏽♀️
He dropped the cake on purpose, kinda like when Yo beat up her ‘Pink Lemonade, the Visual Cake’ with a huge whisk. It wasn’t meant to go anywhere after it was made so they filmed that to drop viewers jaws (including mine at first).
@@MiffetBlue ohhhh that makes so much sense!!! I didn’t get why he was letting it wiggle so much😄
@@MiffetBlue it was still shocking to see
@@MiffetBlue That totally worked! I really gasped! 😱
My mom used to get the Wilton catalog and I would sit and go through it planning my wedding, I loved those cakes when I was little.
When I was a kid in the 90s seeing those tiered buttercream cakes imprinted that style was the peak of sophistication and class lol they were so cool and I always wanted to have one at my wedding. still love them
I was poor in the 90s and I thought these cakes were only on tv cause no one I knew that got married could afford them. Someone you knew who could bake made a sheet cake and that was good enough.
@@TheCRAZYAunt128 my family was broke - I didn't go to a wedding till I was an adult. But I'd see them on TV or at the grocery store with displays of the book of cakes you could order. The displays were so fancy!
I too love these beautiful cakes, I've always said this style would be my wedding cake with 10 tiers and 3 fountains. Yeah, I'm a bit extra!
So glad I'm not the only one who likes the look of old style pillar wedding cakes with people on top. And there is a benefit to making vegan cakes, you can like the bowl clean without fear of salmonella.
LmFao 🤣🤣 Never got salmonella from cake batter or anything else with eggs, and I do that all the time!! 🤣🤣
@@MsTwilightgirl94 good for you! You can definitely get sick from eating raw eggs, it's common sense. So keep gambling!
You were not nearly heartbroken or angry enough when that cake went over for that not to have been staged. 😁 And, as far as I know.. you're not down a crew member or on the run from the police, which would have been the inevitable outcome. As a fellow baker/decorator though, staged or not, that was traumatizing!
Bro weddings cakes of Disney princesses and their Beaus. A series that would give lots of content (but awesome content so it's a win win!)
I'm sorry, but the cake falling was pretty funny 😂
JJR! Episode idea - do a crazy cool colorful cake for Pride Month! Rainbow flowers everywhere, tiers for various pride flag colors, love is love is love, etc. That would be so fun to watch, and so inspirational!
Love, a queer aspiring home bakery business owner and huge fan of your channel!
YAAAAASSSSS THIIIISSSSS!!!!!! Please please please! With rainbow cake layers!
Yes!! Could easily combine a retro doll cake (suggested below) with a pride cake for pride month, too :)
You described my wedding cake to a tee. 30 years ago my cake was white with blue piping and piped roses 🌹. It had the pillars and the stairs with the plastic bridal party figures. Thank you for helping me remember that. Since my husband passed away there are not too many happy memories but you just gave me a good one. Thank you for sharing and keep on caking 💜
My memory of wedding cakes from the 1960s and 1970s is that the cakes were made of rich, dense fruit cake. They held the weight of the decorations and never went soggy. The guests were given small pre-wrapped portions of fruit cake with marzipan topping to take home, eating the main cake at the reception, and the couple kept the tiny top layer in a dry, cool place in order to serve it at their 1st anniversary celebration. Well-made fruit cake (especially if "cured" with brandy) easily lasts and is edible for a year or more. Thanks for the time travel! ❤
My daughter just handed me Lego Belle..Yes you're spot on..matches her dress perfectly!
I love that as soon as the cake falls he hurries to leave with that "he's gonna kill me look"
I loved when the guys did a cake that had a fountain and wedding party on the other show that must not be named!! 🤣❤️ JJR did back stories for the bridesmaids and groomsmen laughed my butt off.
Oh that’s right, I gave them all names. Lol
I absolutely love retro so I absolutely love this cake! I agree, it does have a Beauty and the Beast vibe. Awesome job!
HUGE flash back to my sisters wedding with that cake drop - we were in the middle of the reception when my dad makes a sprint-dash to catch the cake as it was literally falling. Thankfully he saved it from plummeting to a mushy end. Pity Brandon didn't manage to catch this one.
I have fond memories of going through Wilton cake magazines looking at all of the designs (my mom made wedding cakes out of our kitchen).
Why do your cakes sink in the middle? I imagine they’re rich and creamy yummy 🤤
They were taken out of the oven a little too early!
IZ BIG CAKE! I LOVE IT! I miss those elaborate cakes with all the details and stairs and such! They were so fun!
P.S. I love the idea of the tattoo cake! You should try making it a flexing arm with a bunch of tats on it.
That yellow! It reminds me of 70s bridesmaid dresses! With floppy wide brimmed hats! Vegas showgirl bridal viels!
Thank you. I definitely feel the 1970's vibe.
Yellows & mint (light grass) greens were BIG at the time.
Keep creating food art, please.
🧚♀️🤟🧚♂️
Gosh I love JJR! Hehe ❤
brandon causing the cake to fall is his and jjrs divorce arc
My heart stopped during that intro 🤣 I know y’all staged it but having a cake collapse like that was always my worst fear!
Awesome!!!!! Finally phew after along time....so glad to hv jjr back with the team!! Can't wait for more ..going to give this a shot this week....
Yes, I remember these! I had one September 1989. It was beautiful.
That cake drop broke my heart. BRANDON!! You are a bad boy.
I wish I could have been so entertained in the kitchen. I tried to do nice things with my cakes too, but something never came out that I could be proud of. you can see thousands of hours of work in your work. you are a genius❤
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! OMGAGA!! I am SOOOOOO happy you are back!! Fills my life with so much JOY!!
Omy gasshhh I've looking for you for 2 yrs now since u left the previous channel, this is the happiest day of my 2022!!🤩💓
This was the perfect thing before going to bed, it really let the negative vibes I had all day dissapear.
(I'm always struggeling to fall asleep, but it's easier, when I'm in a good mood before going to bed, and you guys always lift me up!😊❤)
So thank you, keep doing what you're doing and good night!😁
I was born in 1980. This looks like all the late 60s, early 70s wedding albums I had to look at.
I made cakes like this back in the ‘70s and ‘80s including my own wedding cake. Way more work than the style of wedding cakes I’m asked to make now. Great to see you create interest for retro cakes!!!!
I’m so glad y’all are back!! My favorite nighttime ritual is watching your channel. ❤️❤️❤️
My wedding cake was yellow! In 1979! 🤣🤣🤣
My mum used to make wedding cakes in the 70s and 80s. I remember watching her pipe lace... none of that mould press or embossed rubbish that uses a stencil; proper piped lace on the cake. It was fascinating to watch.
Nice to see you all back.
LOVE IT
I love it! Nope this sort of piping comes back. Modern wedding cakes lack use of talent! I love the yellow!
Great job!
Leaning tower of cake finally fell 😆 super epic cake with a super epic fall
Most underrated show on RUclips!
FINALLY YOU GUYS ARE BACK !!!
Love it!! Thank you again for sharing :) will try this soon… subscribed to your channel :) ☺️
Omg I gasped out loud when that cake fell! Noooo! 🤣😭
i am so excited i am going to be more zen after these videos
Why do I love this cake?! But in a sickly 70s/80s pink color for my future bridal shower.
ohhhh yess i love you guys
OMG,!!! I missed you all so much!!!🥰🫶🏼🤟🏼
If you’ve moved to Colorado, does this mean you’re now going to do a baked cake “baked” 🤔 😂 just do it!
HELLLLLOOOOOOOO!!!!!💜💙 Your videos are hilarious and awesome!
I did one similar in white with tiny violet rosebuds. So pretty. In ‘92. 4’ tall, pillars etc.
Beautiful dear
I also admired the tiered wedding cakes when I was a child in the 90s. I remember our grocery store had giant three tiered cake complete with pillars and all on display in the bakery section. You don’t see that much anymore…
I ❤️ this 🎂
Ick! Thanks for reminding me of my childhood (80s baby/90s child)
Your gifted with cakes bro.
I kinda love it and want to frost a cake yellow now
❤these videos
Call me old fashion, but I think this cake is beautiful. Nice job JJR!! 👏 ❤️
Omg i jumped/gasped so bad in the beginning wanting to help catch it 😂 ✨the anxiety✨
JJR: "I wanted it to be tacky and it's beautiful!" ... Yup!! 🍋 🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋
My daughter thinks you should make a rainbow cake with a pink unicorn on top with a mermaid standing on the unicorns head and whatever candies you want! (She suggests candies stars & pearls and fruits and maybe flowers)
There's nothing more that I love like an old school wedding cake they were absolutely gorgeous the pillars the stairs with the Little couples the champagne fountain in the middle they were just beautiful that's what a wedding cake should be not this crap they put out today you're right jjr they're great. They make the cake plates with the little legs on them that stick down in those pillars they snapped down in them that way they don't move around but you do want to stack that at an event you don't want to do it before I got married back in the early '80s and my cake was a big poofy very feminine white with blue roses it was beautiful and I still love those cakes and I do decorate cakes and I think those are still beautiful
what a cake!
Hand piping is still the coolest
yes, the yellow was really popular and Gunne Sax wedding dresses!
I just want to figure out out to make those chewy cookies they used to make at Becker’s back in the day. Heaven.
GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK. Missed ALL your Pretty Faces.
I so wish I could try one of your cakes 🎂
Didn't see it at first but yeah you definitely made a Disney cake. Maybe they'll buy the design from you to have as an option to sell to Disney wedding fanatics for $10,000.
OMG flashbacks to my oldest sisters wedding-I was 7...
As I was watching this video I was also hearing a truck back up in my neighborhood. It kind of freaked me out it was happening to both of us! It was in stereo! 😂
Definitely Beauty and the Beast vibes!!!
I’d still eat the cake 😋😂 I’m sure it was delicious! ❤️
Oh my goodness! I was married in 1991 and I had a fountain on my cake!
This is the only video out of hundreds where the star complained about background noise through the wall, and I could actually hear it. That must be driving you bonkers... well, more bonkers.
Not nearly as many layers… but for my grandparents 50th anniversary I tried copying their original wedding cake from the 1952. Was fun making it all “extra”. LOL
I would love to see you make a Sicilian torta settevelli, my favorite cake. :)
Ruffles ftw!!!!!!
It would be so cool if you could collaborate with Dylan Hollis! You could teach him retro piping etc. And he could guide you through a depression era recipe of ridiculousness! Would be epic
That opening was just cruel and unusual punishment for your viewers! 😂
Brandon acted like naughty elf 😁😁
looks like those cakes at Giant
we need moreeee JJR
Makes me sad I see people talk about missing MAC and dont know this is available :(
JJR Coming Out Pride Cake
So...like...no commentary on what happened with the cake crashing?! 😆
Yeah, I would run away too😉Great looking cake though🥰... was
Definitely a bridesmaid dress from 1977.
That was a beautiful cake avalanche! Also, I didn't realize that all of your cakes are vegan. Clearly my vegan senses need a fine tuning.
Maybe try a retro cake with a tv show theme like threes company or all in the family. Something funny like that.👍😁
I did not see a notification for this!!!
omg you are back you are back you are back
Married by an Elvis impersonator at Graceland is a requirement for use of this wedding cake.
I love it! But, I was married in 1971 so I was into that style.
I saw you in Culver City!
Whatever happened to the hard sugar roses from the 90s? I loved those as a kid.🌹
Just a few ideas JJR. What about a Harry Potter or a regency Jane Austen era cake? Maybe even a Lego cake?
I love all of these ideas!
