Simple Lemon Cake

It was good, I made a lemon glaze to go on top

I added more lemon juice (1/4 cup) and only one cup of sugar instead of two and it turned out great! Lemony and not too sweet. Also, baked longer than instructed.

I like this cake because the directions are easy to follow and the cake tasted good I did added about 1 1/2 tablespoons more lemon juice then the recipe said because other people said, that it didn’t have enough flavor. The cake turned out great and I put lemon pie filling and sprinkles on the top of it which gave it even more lemon flavor so it was really lemony and delicious.

Added a tad bit more lemon 🍋 juice and zest (only because I loveee the taste of lemon) made a lemon glaze poured over top (poked holes not too deep) added glaze and lemon zest on top) omgggg this was so MOIST and DELICIOUS 🤤

Lovely cake to make and eat :) I had to cook on a very low setting, so it just depends on your oven and cookware. Poked loads of holes for a lemon glaze to soak as it does feel slightly dry. My 5 year old enjoyed helping me with the baking and devouring slices

It seemed similar to my mother's recipe that I lost. I liked the way measurement was in cups so that scales weren't needed. I especially hate it if measurements are imperial instead of grams / kilos etc.I made it by hand with just a bowl and a wooden spoon.I pimped it with extra lemon zest & juice but only used half the vanilla. Also I always add an extra 30% baking powder to recipes to give that extra lift and lightness. The cake is baked for a group of nuns (no joke) so I won't be able to taste. I know it will be great though as it is so similar.Just to address the negative comments in other people's reviews which are mostly about baking time - All ovens are different. I have a new oven but very basic. There is no fancy fan settings etc, and it seems fairly underpowered compared to my old one. Therefore I baked at 200c not 170. 35 mins was long enough, also nicely browned on top.

My first time

Easy recipe to follow

I read other reviews and tweaked recipe.I replaced butter with 3/8 c oil, I replaced eggs with 1/2 c apple sauce, I deleted vanilla and used 3 tbs lemon juice, I replaced baking powder with a generous 1/2 tsp of baking soda. Then I decorated with mini Pop-Tarts, honey & chocolate Teddy Grahams & a ginger snap. I put it in the oven at 9pm. I baked for 35 minutes & turned off the oven. I left the cake in the oven until I woke up at 7am. It was so delicious and lemony that my cat took a few bites & smiled.
