I’m a huge baker and have been for years. I actually won a prize for my pound cake when I was a Girl Scout. I’m currently undergoing immunotherapy treatments for melanoma and just don’t have the energy for baking. I did chuckle at your description of your new cookbook. I already go back to your recipes time and time again as they are always delicious.

i made this cake (and used your wonderful lemon curd recipe for the filling) this past father's day and my dad absolutely loved it. my family couldn't stop talking about how fresh and lemony this cake was, and how the frosting was absolutely to die for. you've done it again john, i fear i may be begged to continue making this cake for every occasion in the family!

My husband has already made this cake for me TWICE - it's possibly my all-time favorite cake, but we did a twist. He followed all the instructions to the letter BUT changed the ICING from lemon to vanilla buttercream. The lemon in the cake and with the curd is deliciously lemony, and pretty powerfully so, so I think vanilla buttercream is the perfect accent. Anyway, it came out picture perfect twice, it's a show stopping cake! Love it. My husband says it's the "reverse procedure" that makes the cake fool proof, and I think it has a great texture and flavor, it's dense but not heavy, if that makes sense.

@moniquelawrence7434 10 күн бұрын

So it’s special; although I use less mace which I feel gives it more of that lemon flavor! I’m very well known for making a normal Lemon Meringue Pie, but I add more cornstarch and 1 can of crushed pineapple!! Then put the meringue on top! Awesome flavor and great texture. Then to reward myself I get that spatula and pan to lick! Enjoyed and saved this recipe! Thank you!
