I really appreciate the casual at-home feel of your channel. It's very approchable, and rewarding to watch. Keep up the great work!

[@donalskehan]

ah glad to hear it!

[@frank6551]

Love from Italy! An Irish person saying Italian words is all I needed in my life, I jus didn't know yet 💖 The cake looks fantastic, I love simple/natural looking cakes, especially in summer 😍

[@HowToCuisine]

Born and raised is the south of France, Limoncello is like the perfect after-dinner liqueur! I can't imagine how good this cake must be 😍😍😍

[@donalskehan]

oooh lucky you! Such a lovely drink!

[@Fenrispro]

Crazy how he still remembers the cake from his wedding. I cant even remember what I ate just now

[@dr-k1667]

Congrats at your 5 yr. anniversary. I feel like I am dating myself when I say I've been watching since before you guys got married...now you have two kids! All the very best and many happy returns.

[@wendy6296]

I've made this cake now several times and everyone just loves it!! Thank you for sharing 😋😊

[@melissac5924]

I made this on the weekend and it was bloody delicious! We paired it with Creme fraiche, lemon curd and lemon sorbet .... amazing!

[@kersa96]

Honestly you're so right. Everyone is constantly slobbering over these instagram cakes, but most of them taste basic. it's really cool that you showed a cake that isn't as pretty or instagram photo ready, but probably tastes great.

[@certainromance24]

That spoon at 6:30 doesn't seem to be doing much measuring hahaha 😂

[@donalskehan]

It shouldn't be there at all really!!! :)

This is the first time I've used Polenta and it's the most delicious cake. I highly recommend making this. I think I will try it with orange juice next time.

[@athan2841]

What a delightfully relatable video. I have to make this as soon as the weather warms up. Thank you for the inspiration. I will be thinking of Italy whilst making this.

I don't like most chefs cakes. I love all your cakes, exactly the textures and flavors I love.

[@Stephenrsm7600]

Congratulations on your 5th wedding anniversary!!!! Wishing you many more to come!!!

[@siciliasizzle]

This reminds me of the rum cake I always make in the summer - boozy and refreshing. I will be making it this week and make use of the limoncello we got from Ravello for our wedding. Please add this recipe onto your next cookbook. Happy 5th Wedding Anniversary Donal and Sofie (Wood). Auguri!

This cake made me think of my sister, who loves making "naked cakes" with lovely flavors. Happy 5th anniversary to Donal and Sofie, and thank goodness for the generally cool climate of Ireland softening the blow of the summer heat for Noah and Oliver.

[@donalskehan]

I'm all for naked cakes!

Yum! This is the grown up version of the classic lemon pound cake. I would totally pair this with some fresh raspberries on top!!!

[@maria45554]

that looks delicious! tried the orange version before, but lemon sounds just as delicious. Happy anniversary to you both. I have the feeling that, regardless of the honeymoon/parenting/summer/Italy... you just fancied the limoncello that's all LOL and the proof is in that symbolic "measuring" spoon :) You work hard, well deserved the treat! I plan to follow your example (and same measuring technique!)

[@shielaadeser3882]

It looks delicious, Donal. 😊👍👍👍 Congrats, to you and Sofie! ❤🌸

Donal, I love your kitchen!! It is so quaint and pretty!!!☺️😍

[@hotlavatube]

For those bereft of limoncello, I wonder if a substitution of a lemon Oleo-Saccharum might add some of the depth of flavor they're missing out on.

[@coljar100]

looks delish

[@ernestojr.acosta972]

I don’t know why he keeps saying that it isn’t a visually appealing cake. It seems pretty instagrammable to me.

[@iamlembotable]

It's kinda rustic as compared to some sophisticated "IG-worthy" cakes. He's just trying to be humble too, I guess. 🤔

[@jacmusic1111]

Donal, what tool are you using to peel the lemon at the end? Also, which chef knife do you like best? If you are willing to share 😁 Thanks 🙏

[@coljar100]

congrats to you both ....

[@brunomaglione2138]

I’m makin it right now!

[@stellatmv3736]

👌👌Loooved it!! And I believe u had a bit more limoncello, than the amount u added in the cake..😉 Happiest anniversary!

[@minamaletti6909]

That's the best part of this cake - if you 'accidentally' add one more (or more) spoon of limoncello, the cake will happily absorb it :)

[@paulafigueiredo1745]

[@tizianacalchi1762]

I would like to make this cake one day before, but can I also put the syrup on the day before or should I pour it over the cake the same day I serve it, if someone can advise me of the best method that would be a great help to me. I’ve also heard it’s best to pour the syrup while the cake is still warm?

[@DelMonteFresh]

Love it!

[@mrmatthewjflanagan]

I am going to make this.

[@1rckrck]

Looks wonderful, but can one substitute couscous or semolina for the polenta?

Happy anniversary Donal and sofie . This cake looks like a summer gift in this crazy time . I've a question though , Can we add any lemon boozy drink if we don't have limoncello?

[@effie5238]

Do you do warm cake, warm syrup? I've been told one has to be cool before adding the syrup, but just curious. Looks delish...🍋💛🍋

[@christinekay9850]

Warm cake will absorb the syrup well but I'm sure cold will be fine. My icing sugar disappeared when warm so perhaps leave that till cake is cold. Enjoy.

Is ground almonds different than almond flour? Wondering if I need to grind my own almonds or if I can buy them in the store.

[@sherietobin6063]

I made this last year for a dessert auction and it got top dollars. The people who won it absolutely loved it, so making it again for this years fundraiser. I didn't get to taste in though. Stioll not sure about my question as nobody responded.

[@tigerlily1034]

Is the ground almond the same as Almond flour?

Could you make this in a loaf pan as well?

By 'ground almonds', does that mean almond flour?

Could Lime be used for the cake?

Dear Chef, love all your videos. I just wanted to ask a question. I want to make your carrot cake recipe. Can I substitute rapeseed oil with canola oil? Again love your content. MOLLY from Malaysia

[@minamaletti6909]

Isn't that the same thing: canola oil and rapeseed oil? Here in Ireland we call it rapeseed oil and I know in America they call it canola oil. Donal can correct me if I'm wrong. Carrot cake - good choice :) I'm sure it will be delicious :)

yup it's the same thing! :)

Is there an alternative to almonds as I'm allergic?

Use some other nut if you can, like hazelnuts or macadamia or cashews, anything you might like. If you're generally allergic to nuts I don't think there's anything to substitute..
