I made my moist LEMON CAKE recipe even better! Soft, zesty lemon cake with lemon curd

This lemon cake recipe is literally the best I've had! With delicate, moist lemon cake layers, filled with a zesty lemon curd and topped with a super delicious cream cheese frosting, you'll be going back for seconds (and maybe even thirds!). This recipe is an updated version of my original lemon cake recipe.

[@kenzen400]

Hey! I always follow your recipes.. Last time I made your lemon curd.. Using milk.. It was little grainy.. Is that normal texture? Or should I try straining that?

[@chrissmith9538]

I’ve done several of your recipes and they turned out great. I am new to baking. I had a problem and I like if you could possibly explain what I did wrong. After I cooked the lemon curd. I let it set. Then I did the butter icing. When I put the icing on the first layer. I used the piping bag to crest a small edge to keep the lemon curd from dripping over the edges but the top layer was sliding off the bottom cake. Was a mess. The lemon curd didn’t stiffen And maybe I used to much icing and lemon curd on the first cake. Not sure. Taste good but the top cake was sliding off the bottom cake. After in the fridge for a couple hours it was good and the lemon curd did stiffen up. Thankyou for your time. Thankyou

[@vicb5098]

Oh no, MK, an update?? LOL, my sis just received her lemon cake in the mail today, the one I made from your first recipe. She says she can't wait to assemble it.

[@taunya2296]

Hi MK! Sorry I’m making this comment on your wonderful new video which was awesome per usual!❤ no I made your homemade cake release recently and I did equal parts, butter, oil and flour and I don’t know what I did wrong but my cake ended up with a crispy outer crust along the edge. If you have any advice on this, I would really appreciate it and also for chocolate cake or any chocolate bake, usually use butter and cocoa powder to treat my pans so I don’t end up with white flower all over my chocolate bacon. Would I be able to make a chocolate cake release using the same recipe?

[@loiho9078]

Cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẽ công thức làm nên món bánh nhìn rất ngon và hấp dẫn 💕 🎉Chúc bạn và gia đình nhiều sức khỏe an lành hạnh phúc và thành công ❤❤❤luôn đồng hành cùng bạn ạ ❤❤🎉.

[@lindabastin]

Hello I like your tutorial how you bake your cake. do you have a class where you can training people please

[@carinapereira3655]

I made this cake today. The flavour is very rich and is super soft. I will do it again, but next time, I will use less sugar, the cake himself was way too sweet for my taste 🙈

[@ewura-abenaattafuah9910]

This might be silly but can I bake this as a sheet cake and then cut it in half to make the layers. I want to bake it tonight and I don’t have the right baking pans

[@ronicakuntes9562]

Yes you definitely can,I also don't have the right baking pan,but I'll do it similar to how you will do it.

[@BaktaAoudi-dk9fm]

Bonsoir j adore vos recettes mais c est dommage qu elles ne soient pas traduites en plusieurs langues comme d autres sites. 😊

[@tahiraabbas9571]
