That recipe sounds perfecteristic! I just made a lemon cake for my sister's birthday, and it turned out too dense. The flavor was amazing, but it was too heavy. Making it was also a test, because my sister has asked for a lemon cake for her wedding coming this year. So I think your recipe had just saved the day.
I tried this cake for my birthday yesterday and it was absolutely DELICIOUS!! The cake was so fluffy and moist that my family thought I watered the cake with syrup and didn’t believe me when I said I didn’t . I mixed blueberries with the cake batter to get a lemon/blueberry cake and filled it with lemon curd and blueberry jam and it was phenomenal! . 100% recommend this cake and I’ll absolutely make it again 🤌❤️
Aww thanks so much for the wonderful feedback :D So happy to hear your family loved the cake and happy birthday to you! If you manage to find a spare minute I'd be so so grateful if you can kindly leave a review on my blog - it really helps my content out :D thanks so much again for trying it out :)
The eggless lemon curd recipe is to die for. I made it and my kids and I ate it before the cake was ready! So I had to make another batch. It’s like candy!!! Sooooooo good!! Love that it’s eggless!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks, MK! This sounds amazing! I look forward to trying it! I love your recipes, the helpful tips you share, and your seemingly boundless cheerfulness! 🙂 Your videos are day-brighteners!!! Thank you!

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I have made a similar cake but I am looking for a recipe that has oil for added moisture. I can't wait to try this one out.
I made this cake for the last 3 months almost once a week, based on your vanilla cake, but my lemon curd doesn't contain milk. Thus is people 's favorite cake
So happy to hear that Malala :D

I LOVE lemon cake! The contrast between tart and sweet is refreshing. Thank you so much for this recipe! Hope you're feeling better soon!
👏👍
Me too!! And thanks so much Lisa :D
Love your recipes!♥️
Made this a few days back. Fantastic recipe. Thanks so much for sharing. The addition of lemon curd is a stroke of genius. Have to say I did have some issues getting the icing to combine well and remain emulsified. I had to take a small amount and incorporate an egg yolk, then gradually work the rest into this base. But ultimately a great result.
Hi Eric! So so happy to hear you enjoyed the recipe :D and glad you appreciated the lemon curd in there! Glad you also managed to get the icing to come together, I've never thought of incorporating an egg into a frosting as an emulsifier! Very cool :) If you manage to find a spare minute I'd be so so grateful if you can kindly leave a review on my blog, it really helps my content reach more people :) thanks so much again for trying the recipe!

I loved it! It's delicious! I'll try adding a bit less sugar next time though.
MK This Lemon cake is outstanding!! I love everything lemon and make everything lemon. I have made moist Lemon Cakes in the past but this one takes the cake!! Lol! And the curd! OMG. Without the eggs. I will never go back to adding eggs for my Lemon Curd. You are a genius for figuring this one out! You are amazing. Thank you for sharing your gift to the world. May many blessings be bestowed upon you!!

Ik raad iedereen om het te maken.perfect recept.bedankt voor het delen.
I tried this cake for my mother in law birthday. And it was absolutely delicious!!! ❤❤❤❤
thank you for including the grams measurement, i hate using cup measurements (only because it's not a common use of measurement), i cannot wait to make this amazing cake
Thank you so much for all those fluffy nice recipes. You are just the best. Greetings from Cameroon 🇨🇲 😀
Thank you so much! :D Much love from NZ to Cameroon :)
Imma try this!!!
I made this cake today by half the quantity. It was super soft.
It sounds so moist the way you were eating 😩😩😩 and it’s looks soo yummy
Wow,looks super yummy.Thanks for sharing.Stay connected.
It looks delicious! Lemons are so expensive in N. Z. at the moment, one fruit shop is charging $24.00 a kg. That's a good idea using cornstarch instead of eggs. I didn't like my lemon curd with eggs. You can do the same with tinned crushed pineapple, juice and sugar.
Hi, MK! Love your recipes! I've made this twice now and both times the cakes sank in the centre while baking. Not sure what's going on as all your other cakes work so well for me.
Wooow lovely ❤
Can’t wait to make it
I like so much this recipe so good
Wow... I tried it , it was just amazing and delicious
thanks for sharing again😊....I never miss your recipies

Aww thank you so much for the support :D
I made this cake and oh my god!!!! So good!! Please if you are doubting yourself to do it just do it! It is so good!
Definitely i will try this recipe
I absolutely love LOVE lemon cake MK!!! ❤️❤️❤️Thank you so much for the recipe.. it looks delicious I can’t resist😭😭❤️🩹
Me too Batool!! Hope you enjoy the recipe :D
This looks sooo yummy. I made lemon cake once in my life. But yours looks so much easier and fluffier. I'm definitely gonna try it this weekend.
