My boyfriend made it for my Birthday when you dropped it on your blog and it was so tasty so delicious I didn’t share it with any guests🤪 it was present and I ate it🥳
what a great present! your boyfriend sounds like a keeper.
I love how she isn't editing out all the mistakes. Makes me like her more
If you need something special to make for Mother’s Day next weekend, this is THE cake!
Also, for my European followers, you can use vegan crème fraîche instead of sour cream!
Thanks from Germany!❤
In the process of frosting it now and it smells incredible. Will update with my family’s reaction when we celebrate Mother’s Day.
Edit: it was delicious!
I thought creme fraiche is sour cream!
We also have "saure Sahne" in Germany which literally means "sour cream".
Thank you !!🌻🌻💜💜
i made this recipe for my coworker's birthday, and the entire office was obsessed! 🥰 i served it with sliced strawberries between the layers and on top. definitely recommend doing it that way. makes it more exciting.
for me, the frosting didn't turn out anything like yours did (mine was a lot runnier) but it was still delicious. :) i made it into a drip-style cake, almost like what you would see on a lemon loaf.
edit: i would like to add that this cake + frosting took me forever to make lol. so definitely set aside a generous amount of time to allow yourself to bake this 😅 the frosting benefits a lot from being in the fridge for several hours before being added to the cake
Thank you for sharing and so nice to hear everyone loved the cake! Love the idea of adding berries between the layers.
And yes, this is definitely a special occasions cake, not something you can whip up on a random Tuesday night lol. I find that it’s easiest if you refrigerate the frosting first. Also I’m not sure when you made it, but the recipe originally had lemon juice in the frosting for more lemon flavor, but I found that it made the frosting to runny so I took it out.
I made this cake for my family last weekend, and it turned out beautifully. They’re already asking me when I’m going to make another 😅 Thanks so much for sharing this recipe with us!
So happy to hear that!! 😊
i’m so happy to see your channel blow up over the past few years. i’ve tried a lot of your recipes, some many times, and they are the BEST. i know i can rely on you. thanks ❤
☺️ that’s so nice to hear! Thank you for being here and so very happy you have been loving my recipes!!
I put lemon curd (I'm not vegan) in the middle of mine and just used your frosting on the top and sides - it was SENSATIONAL !!!
I can't wait to try this. I have made a blueberry-lemon cake for years (non-vegan) with blueberries baked in the filling. The blueberry-lemon combo is out of this world.
My mom was a hobby cake decorator. Instead of the cake board, you can tuck strips of wax paper (I imagine parchment paper would also work) under the cake. Easier to remove.
Thanks for your amazing recipes and videos ❤ you are helping me TONS in the process of switching from meat diet, to vegan ❤😊
Looks awesome, I'm gonna try it! 💜Thanks for the recipe! And thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for using metric measurements. It makes my life so much easier
I'm going to make this for my birthday at the end of this month! can't beat a lemon cake!
Perfect for mother's day ! I just got your instant pot cookbook and can't wait to try the recipes!
My mouth just watered looking at you put together this very lemony cake.
I made it, and I love it so much! Even my parents that are not vegan also love it. Every recipe that I had tried of your channel is a success!! Thank you for sharing.
This looks so good! Definitely saving this to try making.
I bought the right ingredients and followed the instructions. Well worth it! Delicious and lemony.
Could you please teach us how to make a delicious aloo paratha?? 🤤 oh and green chutney sauce too please
This looks amazing. Congrats on 1 million subscribers! 🎉
Eeee so excited for this recipe. One of my favourite cakes and have ached for it to be vegan! Thank you! Bring on the Lemons!
👏🏼👏🏼my family is from Italy and Italians love lemons. They are gonna love this cake too. I’ll tag it
The way your video release is always timed for after my nap 😂😍
Glad to hear my videos are not putting you to sleep 😅
Just made this tonight and its amazing! Best lemon cake!
I love your personality. This recipe is a must try
1. Lemon cake is my favorite cake EVER...so thank you
2. I love how sassy you are
this is just perfect for me - i love lemon cake
Looks super delicious!
I’m so scared of baking things from scratch but your recipes NEVER fail me so I might have the confidence to try this - looks too good not to 🤗
Don't be scared just jump in and do it. For a long time I was so nervous to work bread dough and comfort, but I jumped in and did it and now working dough is calming for me. It's therapeutic (and tasty). Once I gained confidence and comfort I hardly use store bought stuff now. Give it a go. It's easier than you think.
Yeah, don't be scared and just follow the recipe! Baking is actually easy and one of life's greatest pleasures. Bon appetit!
Lemon desserts are my favorite!!💛💛
it looks delicious 🍋
My favorite cake ever! Thanks!
Lemon cake is my favorite! I cannot wait to try this recipe. I tried your vegan brownie and it was seriously the best brownie I've ever had. Vegan or not!
I think I want to give this a try but add some blueberries on top top too. Looks super yummy!!!
This will be my mother's day cake this year. My mom absolutely ❤ lemon!! Also, to keep the board from slipping, you can put a bit of frosting directly on the stand before placing the board. Not my idea, my aunt is a retired professional baker lol. 😂
I have those containers!! But I leave the rubber thingy off because I need mine to slide across the counter for easier access to my rolled oats. LOVE your channel!!❤
Looks so tasty 😍
I hope I get to try this amazing lemon cake!
❤😊Thank you for sharing this yummy vegan recipe🎉
I can’t wait to make this with my granddaughter. It’s for my daughter for Mothers Day.
For sure i will make this, looks delicious
Thank You So Much! 🙏🌞💐Brilliant recipe of lemon cake!💛We with my mother made it for The Easters - it was sooo delicious.. 🍥 I believe I will make this cake not once in the future 🍥
I made this cake for my boyfriend on his birthday (he loooves lemon deserts) a month ago and It. Was. Amazing! We loved it! I made it with lemon juice in the frosting from the original recipe, and it was a bit too runny, so I understand why you removed it again - but it was still the most tasty frosting I've ever had! (I may have eaten a lot of frosting by itself 🤪). I'm defenitely making this again (when I have the time), but I'm gonna wait some time, cause I can't control myself with this cake 😅❤ Thank you for this amazing recipe Nisha! ❤
This cake looks so beautiful and delicious and simple God-bless you! ❤🎉
Amazing! ❤
Hi Nisha! I made it yesterday for my husband's birthday. It's delicious! The only change I need to make is the amount of powder sugar in the forsting as it's definitely too sweet for us. You're right, always try your frosting before! :D
I draw round the cake tin with a pencil and cut out the circle on the parchment paper. Much easier and neater for us OCD types 😊
It looks so yummy! I love lemon cake my self. I must say though this is not for the faint of heart if your watching oil intake or even sugar intake. I will try to make it gluten free. Thank you for the inspiration Nisha. As always your videos and recipes are top of the list excellent! Aloha 🌺🙏😎
I made it, I made it , I made it and it's D E L I C I O U S❤❤❤
Woohooo! I’m so happy to hear it!!
I don’t eat vegan but I came upon your videos and really enjoyed them; you do a great job. The food always looks incredibly tasty. At any rate this cake recipe really intrigued me. So it was me and my 6 year old for 2 hours (because she’s 6 lol) making your cake. It. Was. Delicious. My daughter had fun, I had fun, and the whole family loved it for dessert. Thank you! I guess I’m going to start building in some vegan food into the repertoire now!! (PS: it was soooo lemony!! I think the combo of the lemon chunks and zest just elevated it)
Yumm! Just listening to the Word "lemon" makes me drool! Love lemon flavored food!
Same! This is the perfect combination of tart and sweet imo.
Yes Yes 😃💚
I'm looking for a recipe for a smash cake for my baby who will turn one this month. I'll definitely use this recipe :)
Dessert queen = 🌈 🌱 life !!
Thank you.
It would be amazing to see you on the British Baking Show! lol
You just WOW 😮 me everytime,❣️. I can't wait to make this Amazing lemon 🍋 cake 🎂. Yummy 😋🤤. My Fur babies 🐾🐾🐕😻🐾🐾 I gave them all a May birthday and this will be our human parent cake most definitely 😁. (don't worry, I have some yummy 😋🤤 treats for my fur babies). Thank you, I always smile 😊 watching you, you have such a special way of teaching/showing your delicious recipes without being condescending or phoney. I really appreciate you for that. Have a wonderful day, month, years 😊💚🌱
Yum!
"the answer is no, not with this cake, these are the ingredients." I love you hahaha 😂🎂 cake looks amazing!!
That looks amazing, Nisha! I could almost taste it when you bit into the cake at the end! And I almost regret having decided I won't be buying an oven for my new home... but really, if I made a cake like this, I'd only eat it all and then I'd be the size of a modest UK home!
No oven?? What will you cook on/in?
@@hannahmitchell87 I have a slow cooker, I use my Instant Pot a lot, I have an air fryer (effectively a mini-oven, although too small to bake a cake in), and I have a tabletop two-ring electric burner. I also have a toaster and a breadmaker. I couldn't remember the last time I used the oven at the last place I lived in, so when I moved in here, I thought "do I really need one?" And with the cost of energy, it just seemed like a waste of money. Hope that explains it. I don't entertain groups to Sunday roast dinners and although I did bake, I didn't bake very much. It's mostly my Instant Pot, though. I love that thing!
@@AmandaJYoungs I believe you can bake a cake in your instant pot. If the cake tin can't fit in, you could bake them into cupcakes.
@@AmandaJYoungs Ahh, didn't realise you've got a hob/burner! I think I could manage with your set up actually! I also use my main oven much less since the fuel crisis (not a crisis for the energy companies' profits though!)
My Mum gave me a slow cooker too, which I'm loving!
Good for you! One less thing to clean, too 😂
@Truth Wins Thank you! I will definitely look into that. I love a nice cake and this recipe of Nisha's looks really good, so it could be worth a try. I happen to have a good supply of lemons right now, too.
Made this for my friends today and it was a hit. They asked to bring the leftovers with them
It looks soooo good. Do you have a recipe for carrot cake?
This looks absolutely delicious! How does it work with an all purpose gluten free flour?
Hi! I need to make this for a wedding. Will it be nice the day after if I make it a day ahead? Also should I keep it in the fridge or just on the counter for the night for the best texture.
Looks delicious! What kind of oil are you using 🙏🥰
if you're gonna used aquafaba from canned chickpeas, gotta make it sure to have less sodium. Ideally, you can make your own aquafaba by boiling pre-soaked legumes or chickpeas until very soft and then leave it in the water for 24-48 hours. After that, strain and cook the legume/chickpea water until reduced to slightly viscous consistency.
wow it's looking just amazing! do you have any another option to substitute the sour cream for who lives in another country and can't find vegan sour cream to buy?
Veganlicious 💛
😂😂😂can I substitute comments😂😂 it's cake people.
Yummy🎉
Well, by far, this has to be my favorite vegan cake. I made it for my son's 3rd birthday party. I couldn't save anything for the next morning. So I decided to make it a week after again. One thing I don't like about it is I had a hard time finding vagen sour cream. I wonder were you be able to find all the ingredients at one store? I was bounced from store to store. Thank you.
Thank you. Can that be made gluten free?
Wow 😮
Ok so my lovely daughter spent many hours making this for Mother’s Day. And it is delicious! We are still eating it and now down to the last slice. We had two oopsies with it however as our kitchen was too warm for the icing despite coming from the fridge. Kite hill I think is too soft for this recipe even if delicious. ( I don’t like tofutti so went with the other suggestion. Violife, or Miyako maybe next time.)so first oops was after icing the lower layer and beginning to place the second layer on top it started to slide all over and icing began to melt down the sides. We should have taken the hint and stopped, put it back in the fridge( both icing and first layer), but we decided to continue with me holding the first layer as icing was applied….. well popped that into the fridge only to discover an hour later that the top,had indeed slid off onto the back of the refrigerator and spilled 70% of that $8 container of cheese and work all down the refrigerator… so I scooped up the top. Plopped it on and rescued a wee bit of the icing from the cake plate so we could then enjoy it. Absolutely Delicious! Next attempt we will make it a sheet cake! No more fancy layers.. 😂 but it was funny. Sort of.
I really want to try this one out 🎉 I was looking for vegan sour cream and cream cheese, but all the have here is cream frèsh (one with 15% fett and the other with 40%) will it work? 😬
Thank you for including grams for us non americans . means a lot
I only wish we had good vegan options of cream cheese in Brazil, so I could make it that good 🥹
Thank you for this delicious cake recipe. I am in Australia and we don’t have the same sticks of butter so what would be the weight for the butter quantity in cake? Looking forward to some yummy baking. 😊 ❤
The full recipe (with imperial and metric measurements) is listed on my website: rainbowplantlife.com/vegan-lemon-cake/
I hope you love it!
@@RainbowPlantLife Thank you so much 🍰
Obviously this is unlikely, but any chance you could make a vegan red velvet cake recipe? It's my boyfriends birthday in earlyish November and I wanna give it a try... All your other recipes have gone down a treat 😋
Is it possible to do the cake on the Night before? And is it also possible to transport the cake for 2 Hours? Or is it Not possible with the frostig?
Any sugar substitute suggestion,pls?
1:10 had me laughing out loud
oh my goodness
The “Censored” graphic when Nisha said naked lemon 💀 ☠️ The editing game is getting stronger 😂
I love lemon! Do you have a favorite vegan butter and sour cream? Thanks
Hi Kristin, I put my recommended brands of sour cream in the description box. My favorite is probably tofutti. For butter, we typically use Earth balance buttery sticks, which seem to work in almost every baking recipe!
Can I use vinegar as I am allergic to lemons...?
Hi can you use gluten free flour instead and stevia sweetener instead of sugar please? Thanks 🙏
😭 i know you said not to replace ingredients but Im in Colombia and the don’t sell vegan sour cream, cream cheese, or vegan butter. Suggestions?
Do you have any suggestions to make this cake Gluten free?
If you use oil in the pan, you don't need baking paper. I usually spread it with coconut oil, and it comes out of the pan super easily :) Wish to make a yt channel one day, I started vegan cooking like 3 years ago. I like your channel :)
I have the 9 X 1.5 in pans. How much does that change the recipe?
Looks delicious! I’m going to make it for my mom’s birthday but is there anything I can substitute for aquafaba?
I see what you did there.
Any chance we can reduce the sugar level? The amount of sugar kinda stops me from trying to make this cake lol
How far ahead can this cake be made? I’d like to serve it for Easter, so is making ahead on Friday okay?
You can make it on Friday. I would store the unfrosted cakes tightly wrapped in plastic on the counter for up to 4 days.
You can also make the frosting a few days ahead of time and store, covered, in the fridge.
The cakes are easier to frost when they’re chilled and the icing is chilled (but not hard), so on the morning of serving, if you can, I would refrigerate the cakes (still wrapped) for a few hours. Then frost them.
Hope that helps!
It looks lovely and you get a gold star for the quality of your recipe. But, where on earth do you get vegan cream cheese? Any brand suggestions?
Hi John, it depends on where you live! I've found it at whole foods, sprouts, vons, and trader joe's, and some smaller specialty stores. My favorite brand is Tofutti, though Kite Hill Foods and Violife are also good options.
@@RainbowPlantLife living in France has its pleasures - but also some difficulties. Anyway thanks again for your inspiration :-)
How much baking powder/soda do you use!? 😫
Waw message the lemon with sugar😗
I giggled when I saw the censored naked lemon 🤭 Keep having fun making these videos for us veg-heads! ❤
Haha you’re very welcome!!
is it possible to use eggs? if so, how many to replace the egg substitute?
Eggs add a taste that i personally hate in dessert, it would ruin the whole thing. I always wondered who has the terrible idea to use eggs for sugary food x).
I clicked on this video because I LOVE lemon + cake. I came to the comments at only 40 seconds in because I love those pantry containers and need to know where I can buy them. Anyone? Thanks!
Hey Ruth, here’s a link to some of the jars. I hope you will love the lemon cake!!
amzn.to/42g90VQ
@@RainbowPlantLife Thanks so much for the link! Unfortunately the price is 3x in Canada 😫 But I will keep watching. The cake looks amazing and I will definitely be trying the recipe.
Hello okay you didn't finish telling the recipe of how much baking soda how much baking powder to put in even the lemons
Someone tell me please tell me what vegan butter did you'll used. I used Earth balance for my buttercream and it was so disgusting
