Just made this-smells AMAZING!!! and the absolute top tip and I think why my sponges have sometimes come out a bit grainy, is the whipping the butter and sugar for A LOOOOONG TIME!! do it and you will not regret it xx Thanks!!
This is most definitely one of the best cooking channels out there. Always easy to follow and nothing too over the top that no one can do at home! Great job!!!!

I made this cake for a family gathering yesterday as my mom loves everything with lemon very much. It was an Easter holiday gathering so I wanted a light and easy recipe which is very spring-like. Well, I honestly didn't expect as many praises as I got! It was a total succes, everyone loved it! This is the best recipe honestly so thank you very much for this gem! :)
My little daughter (3) helped me to measure all ingredients this morning. She loves lemon cake. It already smells delicious, we can’t wait until it’s done. Thank you so much for this recipe.
How funny, my four year old daughter helped me today to make this! She’s getting more and more confident with the mixer with every bake we do during this lockdown period; today I could use both my hands adding the eggs as she was happy mixing everything with the mixer 😍 Thank you for another winning recipe Jemma! 😋
I made this yesterday and it is super yummy! I have made lemon drizzle cakes in the past that got too soggy from the syrup, so I only added half of the syrup to this loaf. It could definitely had taken more syrup, but it turned out delicious never the less! I also only had one lemon, so I used lime and a little bit of orange too. It tastes even better the next day. Will definitely be making this again and again and again!
This recipe is a keeper! I poured all of the lemon sauce into the tin so the cake was a lil sour. In future i’ll cut the quantity to 1/2. Thank you Jemma for the awesome recipe ❤️
Just made this... it's incredible! And so MOIST ... 😍 I reduced everything a bit- used 175g of butter/flour/sugar and 3 eggs..still got a big loaf of cake out of it :D thanks for this Jemma!
I’ve been meaning to make this for a while and after the first time I saw this video I kept waking up in the night dreaming about lemon drizzle cake ha ha! Finally got round to making it yesterday and it is delicious! Thanks Jemma! 😋🧁😋🧁😋🧁
I guess I am a little behind the curve but I made this cake today. Turned out perfectly as expected. Thank you Jemma for sharing your secrets and the professional instruction without making baking seem difficult. The only question I had was rather or not you were baking fan assisted. I figured out quickly it was not. I would like fan assisted guidance for this recipe if it would work well.
This is truly classic. This video just popped up on my home page. I have been a subscriber for about a year and a half so I hadn't seen this one. My mother had a great trick. She would mix her citrus zest into the sugar for the recipe and rub the sugar and zest with her hands. It would infuse the citrus oils into the sugar. The citrus flavor in the baked good was amazing. Love your channel
So delicious! I had to use a round tin - still looks lovely! Also, I didn’t add the drizzle and it still tasted lemony and not too sticky, but a simple sponge 😊 I live in Germany and had no self-raising flour. What I did was add three teaspoons of baking powder to 225 grams of type 405 flour, mixed with a whisk then sieved into mixture.
Lovely story, useful knowledge! Thanks Wendy! It makes me feel at ease now, bc I also own a round tin too and I will bake this recepie in my round-one too! + i have plain flour too at hand only, so yiur comment is a gem! 🤗🥰
I’m so fortunate to have a lemon tree in my garden, recently moved here and I am looking for lemon recipes, must make this today, thanks Jemma and team, been following you since the beginning of 2020. ❤️🍋❤️
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH. I LOVE you Jemma, this is the fourth video i watched just for lemon cake cause all the other dumbos were using cups or whatever as a measurement system. YOU ARE THE UNSUNG HERO OF ALL COOKING CHANNELS ON ALL OF RUclips!
I made this cake and I really loved it. To my taste, however, it was a bit too greasy and I could taste and smell the eggs, which I didn’t like that much. So I was thinking, why don’t I try it with less butter and fewer eggs. So this morning I made one with only 150 grams of butter and three eggs, and to make up for the reduced moisture, I added about half a cup of plain yoghurt. It turned out delicious.
I have baked this twice now and I found it incredibly greasy with butter too. I thought I was doing something wrong. However, I didnt find that the eggs were an issue in mine, just the butter. I ended up wrapping mine in kitchen roll and letting it sit overnight with cling film too and the excess greasiness soaked back into the cake but also into the kitchen roll which helped absorb some greasiness too. I also cut the actual drizzle sugar syrup in half because the cake would have been way too soggy. Instead, I used half the amount and then used the other half of the lemon amount to make a lemon icing on top. It worked a treat. I think I'll try your trick with reducing the butter. It's such a tasty cake but the greasiness is very off putting and sickly. Thanks for sharing. Lee :)
This recipe has been a hit on a scale that I cannot easily overstate. Like seriously. This is the kind of recipe that gets requests from friends. A bazillion thanks for this. I altered Jemma's technique in 2 teensy ways. I lined the ends as well as the sides and bottom. Soaked with the drizzle the heels are their own kind of amazing that way. Also I added about 20-25ml lemon extract and a smidge of vanilla right into the zest during my prep. I compensate for the additional liquid with about 30g of additional flour. Also.. If you think you've poured too much of the drizzle over it, you haven't. Go. For. It.
My son's birthday is also March 9th! He absolutely loves watching your videos, we watch one every night before bed. He was so excited when I told him when your birthday is.
@@CupcakeJemma .I have also orange trees and pecan tree so it will be great if you will make also cakes with oranges or pecans. I love all your cakes. Thank you again
i made this today.. the loaf is soft and fluffy.. i was worried at first because the batter curdled a little but it turned moist and delicious after baking. thanks for sharing.👍
Thank you! My grandmother used to make this in a lemon, and also an orange version. I loved them, but the recipes have gone missing. Glad to have yours to use. :D
I made this but not really, I improvised and halved it but used you as a guide, it was fantastic! (Also I used cups because my scale broke) 3/4 cup sugar Half a cup butter 1/4 cup coconut milk 1 egg and white 1 cup flour 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/8 teaspoon baking soda
This lemon cake is to die for!! I had a sweet tooth so I decided to make this. Instead of making the drizzle, I made this other “drizzle” from Jemma’s Lemon Polenta cake which is just lemon juice and icing sugar. Yummm!
In the U.S I think the closest thing to this we have is like a lemon pound cake, but it doesn’t have the drizzle it just has a lemony icing on top, I’ll have to try this out!
You are amazing..!! I have been following your channel for quite long and finally tried this recipe today, now that we are on a lockdown and I have some time off. This is a brilliant recipe. My cake turned out absolutely delicious..!! Many thanks.
I’m a beginner in the kitchen but I find very easy to follow you. My first was your Orange cake and it was a hit! I wonder if you can share some ideas for cakes using strawberries and cranberries.. 😊👍
Thank you SO much for this beautiful recipe I tried it last week and made it for everyone at work and they devoured it! I’m making it again next week for my mum!
I LOVE lemons! This cake reminds me of a lemon pound cake I make but I dont have such a thin lemon & sugar mixture over top. Mines usually a bit thicker icing but I love this way, I'm going to try it this way next time. 💕
Yay...somebody who doesn't grease and flour the tin! I totally agree - almost always creates a floury, flaky mess on the sides of the cake. I find a light greasing, lined with parchment and lightly grease the parchment ( I use veg shortening and a pastry brush) works like a charm on cakes. Nothing nicer than a slice of a good lemon drizzle cake with a cup of tea. Sigh ! Civility at it's best. Going to make this soon 😋
Thank you ! Made a gluten free version of this cake for a group of elite senior ladies and was great success! Now they ask for more and order cakes from me whenever they have a meeting or occations!
Hello, two days ago I followed your recipe, only with some blueberry to mix with the batter. My friends liked it, the lemon zest really made a difference. I will never buy lemon cake again because mine is definitely better. Cheers from the UK
I live in south Louisiana and I made this cake as a desert for after a crawfish boil. It was such a hit after all of the spices of the crawfish that I was asked to make it a staple for every crawfish boil from now on.
Hi, I made some mistake, I used just normal flour instead of raising flour, the rest I did what u explain in this video, I recognize itafter few minutes when it was in the oven 😢😢but it comes very goed, I am so happy.❤ thank you.
These bake-alongs must be such fun. I'm thinking of joining the next one. I have a bundt tin, which I haven't used for years so it will be a great opportunity to dig it out. 🙂
Dear Jemma, I just tried baking one today and the cake turns so well risen which I love!!! I put golden raisins and chopped pecan to my taste. As to the baking time, it took me more than 55 minutes, I think about 70 min or so. Much much thanks for sharing. Look forward to more of your homebake recipes!
Made it yesterday (I split the ingredients in half to make 8 muffin size cakes) and it was delicious ! Everyone was surpised when I said it was an english recipe 😅 Thanks from across the English Channel 😉
One thing i'd recommend for drizzling the cake: instead of pouring it straight from the jug, use a pastry brush to coat it more evenly. If you dont have one, a clean paint brush, makeup brush, or even a teaspoon will also work just fine. edit: also, if you want the classic white, hardened drizzle for decoration or taste, use icing sugar instead of caster sugar for the drizzle - thats literally the only difference.
I’ve made this yesterday and it turned out just perfect...it’s the first cake I’ve ever baked from scratch so thank you so so much for the video - can wait to start making some of the cakes from your videos - thanks again x
Just came across this video and decided to make this cake since I had all of the ingredients. It’s in the oven now and I can hardly wait for it to be ready to eat.

I've gone 50 years without tasting one, now finally I get to make one, you've changed my life
Daym
If you make your own self-raising flour - use 225g plain/all purpose flour with 3 tsp of baking powder :)
Thank you 😍
Thanks.it helped me also😊

Can’t wait to see how it turns out! 😆
That's so cute! My 3 years old bakes with me too sometimes! He loves adding the sprinkles onto cupcakes the most though! haha :)

Thank you for another winning recipe Jemma! 😋
Just made this today! Received so many complaints family members saying it’s the best lemon drizzle they’ve ever had! Thank you Jemma!! :)
You mean compliments? 😳
Xd i think so

Lemon tip....seems that they yield even more juice if they're microwaved for about 30 seconds before juicing.
Happy pressing!
I really feel like you listened to our feedback from the last bakealong, thank you!!! This is much easier to follow along with.
Ginny Johnson So pleased to hear this! 🙌🏻

pro tip: mix the zest and sugar separately with a fork or ur fingertips to get it to mix in properly without lumps and infuses the sugar well !!
I had no butter at home so I replaced it with 180ml of vegetable oil and omg it turned out so amazing 🥺💕
St what point did you add the oil I want to try it.
Grandpa's and grandma's recipes are always hit... 😊
Pankhuri Vaish they are aren’t they! Always a fail safe recipe!

when did u add the yoghurt?
@@brownie_21 I added it alternating with the flour: so flour, yoghurt, flour, yoghurt and then ending with flour.
@@Uummannaqsong thanks!
@@brownie_21I assume it was probably added in after the eggs. I haven't used yoghurt myself, but if I did, that's when I'd add it.

I made it today for my parents with lemons from their garden, and it is epic. Thank you so much, wonderful recipe.
I've just baked this recipe and its taste is amazing. Thanks Jemma 😗

This cake looks scrumptious! And I loved the format of this video. 👍👍
I’m a fan of any and all things citrusy! Lemon and lime is my favorite, but now I’m keen to try a blood orange drizzle cake!!!
Oh yummy! That kind of cake is my favourite. 💛🍋💛
I always use unwaxed lemons 🍋 this recipe is amazing! Thanks so much 🥧🍰
My go too channel to make cakes at home . You can’t go wrong ! Absolutely amazing 🤩 thank you xxx

Waiting for my cake to finish baking! I added blueberries. My house smells amazing!
Sweet Favors Designer Cakes ooh how’d it go with the bluebs?

Hi, fellow South African here!! I binge watched all Jemma's videos when I first found her channel!! ;)
The cake turned out really good! thanks for sharing this super easy and quick and decedent recipe
Thanks so much for starting this, amazing bakes. Really greatful for all your tips.😚
Tried this and it turned out amazing!!! Love your work Jemma 💕 thank you for making it really simple and achievable!
My lemon loving Uncle's birthday is also March 9th. This will be perfect to make for him 💜
I made this but not really, I improvised and halved it but used you as a guide, it was fantastic! (Also I used cups because my scale broke)
3/4 cup sugar
Half a cup butter
1/4 cup coconut milk
1 egg and white
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
Love lemon cake....will definitely be making this 😋😋

Thanks a lot for this recipe it's the best cake ever, always good and most important it stays fresh and moist for at least 5 days🍰
In the U.S I think the closest thing to this we have is like a lemon pound cake, but it doesn’t have the drizzle it just has a lemony icing on top, I’ll have to try this out!
Oh my gosh! This looks yumm! I'm a March baby too. No wonder I love baking!
Oh, this is heaven in a slice!! Very easy to bake along with. Thank you!
Oooooooh love the oldies recepices are always the best
Lemon pound cake is my all time favourite! I will definitely be trying your recipe! I just recently found your channel and I love it and you!
It’s lemon drizzle NOT pound cake. 😊👍
This Lemon Cake taste amazing. Great recipe .
One clearly must have a lemon-coloured mixer! Lovely recipe. Thank you.
I usually make a version of this cake. Instead of butter I use a lemon yogurt and olive oil. It was the first recipe I ever made 😊
I'm enjoying these bakealong videos. I'm not baking along at the moment, but I can see how they'll be useful when I do get around to making this
So pleased to hear this! Thank you
Made this today it turned out wicked, cheers Jemma.
Is that good or bad?
You are amazing..!! I have been following your channel for quite long and finally tried this recipe today, now that we are on a lockdown and I have some time off. This is a brilliant recipe. My cake turned out absolutely delicious..!! Many thanks.
Lemon desserts are my favourite! definitely going to try this one
Looks absolutely delicious. I must rush out and buy a bag of lemons. thanks for making it.
So good! I love the traditional recipes.
I’m a beginner in the kitchen but I find very easy to follow you. My first was your Orange cake and it was a hit! I wonder if you can share some ideas for cakes using strawberries and cranberries.. 😊👍
Ella Jemma just made the second drizzle cake the recipe is really easy for me to follow and it tastes delicious thank you 😊
Made this last week using half the ingredients and it turned out brilliantly - thank you for such an easy to follow recipe!
I've just made this cake,but I made a round cake ,split it and added lemon butter cream....Yummy!!
Thank you SO much for this beautiful recipe I tried it last week and made it for everyone at work and they devoured it! I’m making it again next week for my mum!
Such a beautiful cake! Made it for my family - they loved it and are asking for more! Thank you for the recipe.
Hello Jemma, just did this recipe this evening and everything is perfect. Thank you for sharing ,God bless xx
What is the texture like? Soft, medium soft, or more fluffy please?
@@sarahb6758 it is soft and fluffy when freshly baked, but after cooling it gets harder, however texture and taste stays delicious!
Thank you. 🙏
My family just enjoyed this lovely cake.
Making this now. Looks absolutely lovely - serving for family dinner tonight. :)
I've never had lemon drizzle cake before. I baked it, and it's really nice!! Thanks Gemma! 💕
Awh yay! :D
It works
I LOVE lemons! This cake reminds me of a lemon pound cake I make but I dont have such a thin lemon & sugar mixture over top. Mines usually a bit thicker icing but I love this way, I'm going to try it this way next time. 💕
This drizzle is great because when it dries it leaves a lovely crispy crunchy layer on top x
I just made it and it was an instant hit..everybody loved it..moist and delicious..thanks jemma
Yay...somebody who doesn't grease and flour the tin! I totally agree - almost always creates a floury, flaky mess on the sides of the cake. I find a light greasing, lined with parchment and lightly grease the parchment ( I use veg shortening and a pastry brush) works like a charm on cakes. Nothing nicer than a slice of a good lemon drizzle cake with a cup of tea. Sigh ! Civility at it's best. Going to make this soon 😋
Thank you Jemma I loved this recipe! Your videos are so entertaining and easy to follow
lemon drizzle was one of the first cakes i made with my nan too and its still one of my favourites, the no fuss perfect as it is cake xx
Absolutely! DOn't get me wrong, I love a beautifully decorated cake but simple and plain is just the best
Thank you ! Made a gluten free version of this cake for a group of elite senior ladies and was great success! Now they ask for more and order cakes from me whenever they have a meeting or occations!
Jaime Lorenzo Mojica hi, did you just substitute the flour for gluten free flour?
I love baking because of you!🥰
I really really love watching your videos! You are amazing!!!!👏👏👏

I cant wait to make this I love your videos jemma
Made this cake several times and family really LOVE it!
Made this lots of times 🍋🍞 it's a winner every time easy to make as well

Is it worth trying then?
Best lemon cake video -ever

this cake must be like HEAVEN
Just came across this video and decided to make this cake since I had all of the ingredients. It’s in the oven now and I can hardly wait for it to be ready to eat.
I've chucked the zest of an orange in too cause my lemons were a bit tiny & we like a strong zesty taste. Hope it's yummy, currently in the oven.
