Made this for a party and was a big hit!!

Thank you for the recipe. Grapefruit and Hummingbird cake were also delicious.

I didn’t thicken the curd enough but still great.

Hands down the BEST cake recipe I have ever made! So delicious, so satisfying and perfectly flavored and textured!

Hey Mayra! Just wanted to let you know that I made this for Mother’s Day yesterday, as my sister is vegan and I’m vegetarian, aspiring to become fully vegan as well. And this cake was OUT OF THIS WORLD! My sister is not a “sweets” person, and yet she loved this cake! She kept eating it and asked if she could keep the rest of it when I left! I took one piece home with me and ate it today and it tasted EVEN BETTER than it did yesterday!
It rose very nicely like a normal, regular homemade cake. It was satisfyingly lemony - which I love! I will most definitely be making this again. Even my mom said to me, “You need to save that recipe and give me a copy! That was so good. Let’s make it again.”

In reply to Tamara. Hi Tamara! I am glad that the cake was still good! If it didn't rise much, it may have needed a little extra time in the oven. The height of the cake can also depend on the pan size! Let me know if I can help for next time!

Hi Sarah! You can actually find the cupcake version of this recipe here 🙂 Just skip the poppyseeds!

Hi! This cake is a spring favorite in our household! I was going to try to use it for cupcakes this year, with the curd as a cupcake filling. Any thoughts on how many cupcakes this recipe would yield and how long to bake them for?

My cake did not rise as much as I would have liked. It still tastes good and is moist so I am using it.

In reply to Britt. Hi Britt - yep, you got it! I just combine the white chocolate and milk in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second increments until smooth and creamy. You do sometimes have to adjust the amount of milk to get it the right consistency so don't be afraid to experiment and see what works best!

In reply to Cassidy Ferrari. Hi Cassidy! Thank you so much for your sweet comment! The lemon-almond flavor sounds lovely. I am glad it worked out as grams! I do keep meaning to (someday) offer conversions for all my recipes so thank you for being patient :)

I just made this as a birthday loaf cake for my partner, but adapted it slightly to be a lemon almond blend by swapping most of the flour for ground almonds. I also added almond extract to the buttercream instead of lemon juice. It's gorgeous and they absolutely loved it - thanks so much. The curd is particularly moreish and we'll probably have the rest on crumpets 🙂

My only criticism is that I had to convert everything into grams to get accurate measurements but I know this will always be a US vs. UK and Europe feud!
