Amazing Strawberry Lemonade Cake Recipe

[@lifedoesntimitate000]

I just wanted to let you know that my ten-year-old son and I made this cake this week for my wife's birthday and it was such a success! Well, actually we had to make a modification because our grocery store was out of strawberries, so we made a raspberry lemonade cake, but everything else was exactly the same. This was the first time we had ever made a cake completely from scratch - no boxed cake mix, pre-made frosting, or artificial flavors. My wife says it's the best cake she's ever had. Thanks so much!

Wait what, no strawberries but got raspberries? Where do you live cos it’s usually the other way around for us NZ folks 😂😂 (it’s either no raspberry or they’re crazy expensive 😂)

❤ gotta say, Mary Berry would say add a decorative dusting of fresh lemon zest on top of the strawberries to finish the look and give the visual cue that there is lemon flavor. Nom nom nom.

You don't need to add both baking soda AND baking powder. That acid reaction dried up the cake. Makes huge holes and yes it rises a bit more but it's awful. Dry dry dry.

ever since I started taking recipes from your website, I don't trust any other websites but yours I always go to your website to look for any recipe. You literally make me want to get into baking as a hobby and I really enjoyed baking the cakes I made from your recipe. I just made your chocolate cake for Family Day, my parents loved it!

[@InquiringMind812]

Oh John, you’re killing me!!! Lemon and strawberry, perfect combo. This looks amazing! I love that you use a scale for measuring. Thank you for another great video.

[@undergroundalienstudios56]

4 months late, but the best cake I ever had was from an elderly japanese woman at a mushroom foraging club. It was an incredibly rich and milky earl gray lavender cake (tasted like it had sweetened condensed milk in it) with an incredibly creamy, almost lemon curd or custard like lemony exterior. It tasted absolutely amazing. Like cream and lemon in earl gray lavender tea - but in the form of a cake with interesting textural qualities. It absolutely blew my mind, and I've tried / retried 3 or 4 times to make it.

[@malaakaasi6466]

Sounds heavenly Can you please share a recipe?

i’ve had lavender tea before and while it was super cheap quality and i hated it i think lavender, sweetened condensed milk and lemon all at once….i would die happy

My son had never baked a cake from scratch until March 2023. He made you Devil food cake for MY 40th bday and i only had one slice as EVERYONE ate it and loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!! since then he has made your carmel, your strawberry lemon and now your lemon cake for his great grandmothers 89th bday and they are alllllllllllllll a hit.

Thank you so much for offering Swiss or Italian meringue buttercream as an alternative! We hate American buttercream in my family. When I first discovered Swiss meringue buttercream only a few years ago, my husband was amazed and thrilled. I never made American buttercream before but it was such a pleasant surprise to discover that buttercream came in varieties that were not cloyinging sweet and one dimensional in flavor.

[@ClaudiaGonzalez-lv9qr]

Thanks for sharing all your delicious recipes. I made this cake it was good but for my family the buttercream was way too sweet. So if you dont like too sweet use only 4 cups of sugar or try the swiss meringue like John mentioned on this video

[@SnailHatan]

Better yet sub 1-2 sticks of butter for 8-16 oz of cream cheese. Smooth the cheese with a mixer and add it in last, after the sugar and flavor has been well mixed in the butter. Otherwise the frosting will lose some structure

I baked this cake for my daughter’s birthday last week, it was AMAzing!💞 wish I can share the photos here. The only thing which I modified was the amount of powdered sugar, I used 1 and a half cup only for the frosting, and added cream cheese for a twist, that was the perfect amount of sugar.

[@brunettwilson7789]

I made this cake, used blueberry instead. Also i put blueberries in the middle layer. It was a hit. Thank you

Visited my sister last fall & used a micro-plane first time ever. It was awesome how it made grating so much easier. I studied the way it was made & carefully ordered a less expensive version online... I use it ALL the time! 😍 I would make your recipe in a loaf with glaze instead of frosting, because I live alone and a whole cake is too much for me... but it looks yummy! Today I am making lemon zuchinni bread to use up zukes from my garden... because, ANYTHING LEMON! 😋

Commenting before viewing... I LOL when I saw the thumbnail. Last Mon I made a strawberry and lemon cake. I purchased a jar of strawberry lemonade jam at TJ Maxx to use as the filling (never seen that combo in a jam before so I had to try it, lol). I made a white sponge and a lightly lemon flavored SMBC. I cut the 2 layers into 4 thinner layers and put the jam on 2 with the middle layer filled with my SMBC then frosted the entire cake with that same frosting. I was winging it but that cake came out SO good!! Can't wait to see what you've come up with. Time to watch now... 😉
