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!
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.
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.
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
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 😂😍😍.
The sugar is the same for most homemade frostings and delicious with no preservatives like canned grocery store frosting. He is amazing and a fabulous baker!
🤤 The creaminess from the buttercream has me speechless..lol :) My grandma loved lemon cake and I will have to make this next month for her birthday in Memory of. Thank you so much for sharing this.
I love lemon cake! To really pop that lemon zing...after layers are baked I use the lemon juice from the zest I added to batter and I brush the cake with the juice, top and bottom, as they reach room temp. Yum yum
Just finished having a slice! This frosting is to die for!!! I made one of your chocolate cakes for my boyfriend's birthday last week as well and couldn't believe how perfect it was. Thanks for all these delicious goodies 🥰💕
8:39 I've made a lot of cakes with frosting and I've found that the confectioner's sugar asked for the frosting ingredients is always WAY too much! Powdered sugar is expensive and 7 cups of it is a massive amount. What I do is halve the amount of ingredients used for the frostings and see how much cake it covers. Usually, the halved amount is plenty. I'm going to start with that and see how it works.
I made this cake for my birthday. My husband came down with covid the morning of my birthday so I got to make my own cake. It was, actually still is, delicious.
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.
That would be a beautiful Easter or Mother’s Day cake! I love your videos and recipes! So perfect for the home cook and baker! Thank you for all you do to bring us joy and good food!
@@itsjemmabond it was a terrific hit! Everyone loved it! I topped it with candied lemon wheels and raspberries, really luxurious cake batter itself too
Love all your recipes , but especially your lemon one’s. My son got me a scale for this last Christmas, and it has improved my baking skills. Thanks for sharing.
So my husband loves you for the lemon cake that is now going to be made after I watched your video. Lemon is his absolute favorite- thank you for making it look easy❤
Made it exactly as he said, and it turned out exactly as he said. Super delicious. He explains so carefully, you do not realize how quickly this comes together. Only thing was that when making both the cake and the frosting, the lemon zest stuck to the mixer paddle- just scrape it off and stir it back in. I used a lower temperature- 320 degrees- for a convection oven. Also spilled confectioner's sugar all over the counter top... about 3 tablespoons....
Delicious!! I have to say.. I add layers of lemon curd, finishing with the cream cheese butter cream lemon frosting, and this cake goes next level! I love your recipes John!!
That looks beautiful!! I can't wait to try it. But, I have to say that I've been baking for over 40 years and I've always finished mixing my batter with my mixer & never by hand at the end. That's not how my mom taught me nor how her mom taught her & they were expert cake bakers. My cakes have always turned out beautifully, moist, light, fluffy, & delicious. My mom also taught me to handle all cake batter with care so when you're spooning it into your prepared pans you do it lightly and never mash down on the batter when you are going to even it out in the pans. I've never put the moist strips around my pans either. I guess to each his own & your cake certainly looked delightful & beautifully decorated.
Just made this and I think this is the best lemon cake recipe ever. Even My toddler who hates cake agrees, keeps coming for more… So so delicious. It’s a very nice spongy cake 😘
Hey John, wow this cake looks so delicious and as soon as I get to the grocery store to grab lemons I will be making this. I love, love lemon anything and this cake is calling my name. Thanks John and blessings to you, Brian and the boys.
John our after school treat was a toasty flour tortilla with butter spread on it. You just brought back some great memories. Drips of butter running down our arms, lol. I haven't had one in over 35 yrs 😕 Yours sounds good too. Gonna give that a try... 😋
Thank you John Kannell for this recipe, and for the measurement conversions to metric. I made this delightful lemon cake to try it out as I wanted to use one cake as a base for a strawberry ice cream cake. The lemon cake is everything you said it would be; light, fluffy and delicious. Australian Plain Flour is equivalent, in gluten content, to American All Purpose Flour.
Looks AMAZING. My Mum's 96th birthday is next week, I am totally making this cake to celebrate her special day. Happy Birthday Mum! Ramona Lakefield ON Canada
I’m going to make this I have a request for lemon cake and also my son loves lemon cake. I made your vanilla cake and EVERYONE loves it. Last night I made your devils food cake for my husband birthday and he devoured it. It was so big it almost didn’t fit in my dish. You have made my cakes a hit with everyone. Thank you John
I made this for Easter this year, I made it with a surprise inside. I made the cake bright orange inside with a green frosting between the cakes. the frosting was bright yellow and put carrot sprinkles and chocolate easter eggs on top. it was such a surprise for my kids
i have tried this recipe and it is amazing. i use baking paper on the base and around the sides (my nan taught me how to bake) and i've tried everything else and my nan's method (for me anyway) is the best method. love from Liverpool (home of the beatles)
I made this cake & the lemon curd & frosting. I added a little bit of the curd to the frosting minus the vanilla for a little extra lemon punch, sooooo delicious 😋 🍋🥳
For the last four years (!!!), I have asked my sons and my sister to make me a *"Super Lemon Cake"* for my birthday, and I've been disappointed every year 😔. I am glad I now see this video. When my birthday comes this year, I'm going to make it myself! Thanks John! 🤗🥰
Kia Ora from New Zealand! I love watching your channel, not only seeing your incredible creations come together, but also hearing your great tips and tricks! I’ve have learnt so many things from watching you. Thanks for sharing your talents and knowledge with us!
Lemon is by far one of my favorite flavors for desserts & lemon chicken - I'm so hungry after watching this grrr that cake is beautiful and looks heavenly

Made this cake today ❤ it came out perfect but slightly modified used 1 cup of wheat flour and 1/2 cup maida, 2 eggs and same amount of other ingredients mentioned in the video i(n half amount). Thank u for the wonderful recipe 😀
I made this cake! Lovely recipe. I opted for crushed pistachios and lemon peel for the top. I can’t do powder sugar it’s too sweet for me. I also only use brown sugar. I really love this recipe thank you! I did use my homemade vanilla. Curious what alcohol do you use for your extract? ❤
Thanks for the post Mr John, your cake making skills are truly admirable and your decorations stuns me I can't wait to dig in. Medical student Malaysia God bless. 👍😋
I love lemon cake but always find they're never lemon-y enough but this recipe is perfect! The right amount of lemon, get that nice tarte taste to complement the soft cake.
Than put in less. How much of the cake are you going to eat? You also know, powdered sugar isn't the same amount of sugar as granulated sugar, and also has corn starch in it.
Hope you never buy sweets from the store or soft drinks or anything. They are much worse. And you’ll be consuming a shit ton more of those than this cake.
Gosh ..the amount of information you give! No wonder your cakes come out super nice. Im making your carrot cake right now for the millionth time and apparently i make the best carrot cake…im just gonna keep that but only I know it’s coz of you. Thank you so much…pls keep it up ❤
My cousin's wife has pretty blond hair and is sweet and sassy so naturally I'm going to make this cake for her bday. Excited about making this. As always, thanks John! Love your vids.
this recipe (like usual) was sooo so good! i made it for my family and they looooved it, were even shocked it wasn’t from a bakery (that’s how good they said it was). unfortunately i didnt have butter or cream cheese on hand so i only made a simple lemon glaze, i cant imagine how good it would be with that frosting!!
Having moved to a colder winter climate, I too miss my beautiful Meyer Lemon tree. I look for them in the markets but hard to find. Anything homemade with fresh lemon is so lovely.
Hi John I am from Italy, nationality sri lanka, today i made your Lemon cake. It was delicious, last year i made your strawberry cake also. Everyone loves it. Thank you so much yours delicious recipes. 😊
Hi John!! I write you from Mexico city, and I have to say, I love youre recipes. I made this cake for christmas and it was delicious, i followed every step even I had to made the buttermilk, cause here in Mexico don´t sell it. Thank you so much for your wonderfull videos, I love it
What a coïncidence! Made this one today! Unfortunately the buttercream was to soft because of the hot weather here in The Netherlands. De cake itself was the best I ever Made.
I would add a layer of lemon curd in the middle, omit the butter from the frosting and reduced the amount of sugar significantly. I love lemon and that sharpness! 😋
I made this recipe for my child birthday on June. I got the recipe from your website. I couldn't find the video. However, I am so happy that I ended up doing your recipe because it came out amazing ❤
One change I made that really elevated this recipe was I took the lemon zest and used my fingers to massage the sugar into it before adding that mixture into the butter. It really releases the oils from the zest. Just go until the sugar feels a bit like wet sand, then add in and continue as instructed. Bumped up the flavor a notch in the best way
Hi John! I think I’ve watched this video so many times, yesterday I tried baking it, hubby brought it to work this morning and everyone loved it! Thank you for the recipe!❤

this recipe (like usual) was sooo so good! i made it for my family and they looooved it, were even shocked it wasn’t from a bakery (that’s how good they said it was). unfortunately i didnt have butter or cream cheese on hand so i only made a simple lemon glaze, i cant imagine how good it would be with that frosting!!
jus made this for my daughters bday today that frosting is so good n i added lemon curd n lemon extract as well great additions
Having moved to a colder winter climate, I too miss my beautiful Meyer Lemon tree. I look for them in the markets but hard to find. Anything homemade with fresh lemon is so lovely.

Hi John!! I write you from Mexico city, and I have to say, I love youre recipes. I made this cake for christmas and it was delicious, i followed every step even I had to made the buttermilk, cause here in Mexico don´t sell it. Thank you so much for your wonderfull videos, I love it
Lemon cake, yes, please.. looks amazing
What a coïncidence! Made this one today! Unfortunately the buttercream was to soft because of the hot weather here in The Netherlands. De cake itself was the best I ever Made.
Thank you! I heare it's been quite warm there lately... Hope you get some cooler weather soon!
Two things I just love: Lemons and cake ❤!
I would add a layer of lemon curd in the middle, omit the butter from the frosting and reduced the amount of sugar significantly. I love lemon and that sharpness! 😋
I made this recipe for my child birthday on June. I got the recipe from your website. I couldn't find the video. However, I am so happy that I ended up doing your recipe because it came out amazing ❤
So in love with this guy. He sounds like a sweetheart 💞 kind human being
One change I made that really elevated this recipe was I took the lemon zest and used my fingers to massage the sugar into it before adding that mixture into the butter. It really releases the oils from the zest. Just go until the sugar feels a bit like wet sand, then add in and continue as instructed. Bumped up the flavor a notch in the best way
On his lemon scones recipe it calls for the the zest to be rubbed in also.
Now that's just beautiful, a piece of art.
Made this cake and my God it was finished in 3 days, the most delicious cake I ever made, thanks to your recipe, I am making it again today
How dare you make something sooo amazing!
