Hi, can you please confirm which measurements are correct? The written description and video are different. Description says to use 3 eggs but the video shows 4

[@leohines8483]

Hey, Liz... I'm just a little confused about the measurements... When I weighed my cake flour on my scale, 12 oz. of cake flour turns out to be 342g; so, did you mean 12 oz. (342g) of cake flour or was that supposed to be 13 oz. (which is 369g) of cake flour? Thank you so much for your support. I love your KZbin channel and your flavorful cake recipes

[@SugarGeekShow]

@@leohines8483 yes use 13 oz!

[@leohines8483]

@@SugarGeekShow yep, I did use 13 oz... I thought my scale needed to be calibrated... Again, and again, but, I used the Google calculator and did my conversions and remembered that 13 oz is just 3 oz shy of a pound. 454g equals a pound... Or another 84g... Ok... The great mathematician baffled... Lol 😆😆😆 to make a long story short... The cake turned out great 👍

[@leohines8483]

@@Noshi1236 well, on the safe side, I used 4 and the cake is beautiful and delicious 😋I was wondering how to post a pic of the finished product on the KZbin page to show how well it turned out

[@veracrews5340]

Ok I made this. OMG. When I tell u this cake was a huge hit with my family. It was gone in 2 days. I had actually forgot to put lemon juice in the cake batter and it was still a hit.. I made the icing too. Even the people that dont actually eat alot of sweets came back for seconds. I used frozen berries. This recipe is a keeper. Already been requested for a second go round. Tfs.

[@liveandletlive7152]

The comments section is always helpful.I do not find fresh blueberries easily but reading that you used frozen ones helped me realise I can too.Thanks!

[@thesilversea6018]

Liz: You can eat it for breakfast- it's practically a health food! Also Liz a few seconds later: Plenty of sugar- this is not a diet cake

[@JKFitz]

I love that you were very specific on what number you use on your kitchenaide. I appreciate that alot

[@danilincks5809]

I made this cake today and oh my goodness I literally had one slice left. I’ve made several of your recipes using the reverse creaming method and they all turned out amazing. I used a cream cheese and lemon curd buttercream frosting but used condensed milk instead of confectioner’s sugar because I don’t like the grittiness of the sugar and it was scrumptious. Keep up the great work!

This recipe is one of the best I’ve ever baked.. texture of the cake was so soft n pillowy that you don’t need a frosting even.. thanks so much for the recipe.. it was very easy even.. the only drawback for me was I just buttered the pan as you mentioned n all blueberries settled to bottom even after dusting with flour.. so my cake din come out from pan.. a parchment lining would help better..

I would just have that cake half nekkid so the blue berries and cake show off with just some frostin when a more natural rustic look is in order. Yours is one great looking cake.

[@jayme5280]

thanks for the blueberry tip!!! i always had trouble with them sinking

You can toss any fruit being added to your cake with flour and it prevents them from sinking. Such an awesome trick!! 😊

I swear I'm going to start making every cake you make. If we were neighbors I would be over your house everyday eating cake. Reason being, when I bake my neighbors in NYC know I'm baking because the smell fills the hallway in my apartment building, lots of knocking and bell ringing happens. They are also my taste testers and batter bowl gremlins.

I made this yesterday and I don’t know if I did it right. I left it in the fridge overnight so it’s easier to handle but it felt really dense. Not like in the video when you squish it. Did I overmix the batter? Probably. Coz it’s not as soft as a normal sponge cake. Is it supposed to be like that? Other than that the taste was so good! I made the extra batter into cupcakes. Yumm!!

Happy Easter! I just made this cake and oh my gosh! 😋 I didn’t read the instructions all the way, where it said to add half of the blueberries in the cake pan, let it bake 10 mins, then add the rest of the blueberries on top. I just added ALL of them in the pans 🤦🏻‍♀️ I also thought it was supposed to be 2 TBS of lemon extract but it was 2 TSP. After I added the 1st tablespoon of extract, I saw the instructions and went 🤦🏻‍♀️ DIDN’T MATTER! It still came out great! 🤤

Hi, in your video which I am trying to follow exactly, you said add 4 eggs to the 1/2 of buttermilk, but your written ingredients say (THREE 3) large eggs.

Soooo the batter was absolutely DELICIOUS buuuutt it overflowed in my oven, big time. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I’m upset because I was REALLY looking forward to eating this entire cake by myself that I just randomly made for no reason, but it’s hilarious because I never would’ve thought something like this would happen to me. Amazing cook! Baker? Eh maybe not so much 😂 I didn’t have measuring teaspoons so I used a regular teaspoon like I do for my coffee but I didn’t round it off, and I’m thinking maybe that’s where I went wrong? I’m definitely going to try to make this cake again

[@destinyzchild84]

Can I use this recipe to make a 2 layer cakes? Like use the lemon blueberry as base then top it off with a salted caramel cake and 2nd top layer?
