    My boyfriend made it for my Birthday when you dropped it on your blog and it was so tasty so delicious I didn’t share it with any guests🤪 it was present and I ate it🥳
  • @lorig9970
    I love how she isn't editing out all the mistakes. Makes me like her more
  • If you need something special to make for Mother’s Day next weekend, this is THE cake! Also, for my European followers, you can use vegan crème fraîche instead of sour cream!
  • I put lemon curd (I'm not vegan) in the middle of mine and just used your frosting on the top and sides - it was SENSATIONAL !!!
  • @tubbygubbler
    i made this recipe for my coworker's birthday, and the entire office was obsessed! 🥰 i served it with sliced strawberries between the layers and on top. definitely recommend doing it that way. makes it more exciting. for me, the frosting didn't turn out anything like yours did (mine was a lot runnier) but it was still delicious. :) i made it into a drip-style cake, almost like what you would see on a lemon loaf. edit: i would like to add that this cake + frosting took me forever to make lol. so definitely set aside a generous amount of time to allow yourself to bake this 😅 the frosting benefits a lot from being in the fridge for several hours before being added to the cake
  • @beanbagchair
    i’m so happy to see your channel blow up over the past few years. i’ve tried a lot of your recipes, some many times, and they are the BEST. i know i can rely on you. thanks ❤
  • @HaileyB85
    I made this cake for my family last weekend, and it turned out beautifully. They’re already asking me when I’m going to make another 😅 Thanks so much for sharing this recipe with us!

    My mom was a hobby cake decorator. Instead of the cake board, you can tuck strips of wax paper (I imagine parchment paper would also work) under the cake. Easier to remove.
  • I can't wait to try this. I have made a blueberry-lemon cake for years (non-vegan) with blueberries baked in the filling. The blueberry-lemon combo is out of this world.
  • @mcsmiggyfresh
    I don’t eat vegan but I came upon your videos and really enjoyed them; you do a great job. The food always looks incredibly tasty. At any rate this cake recipe really intrigued me. So it was me and my 6 year old for 2 hours (because she’s 6 lol) making your cake. It. Was. Delicious. My daughter had fun, I had fun, and the whole family loved it for dessert. Thank you! I guess I’m going to start building in some vegan food into the repertoire now!! (PS: it was soooo lemony!! I think the combo of the lemon chunks and zest just elevated it)
  • I'm going to make this for my birthday at the end of this month! can't beat a lemon cake!
  • @yerko91
    Thanks for your amazing recipes and videos ❤ you are helping me TONS in the process of switching from meat diet, to vegan ❤😊
  • @lp7931
    Perfect for mother's day ! I just got your instant pot cookbook and can't wait to try the recipes!
  • @PattonScr
    Looks awesome, I'm gonna try it! 💜Thanks for the recipe! And thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for using metric measurements. It makes my life so much easier
  • I made it, and I love it so much! Even my parents that are not vegan also love it. Every recipe that I had tried of your channel is a success!! Thank you for sharing.
  • @suebehari8540
    My mouth just watered looking at you put together this very lemony cake.
  • @sheilab9572
    👏🏼👏🏼my family is from Italy and Italians love lemons. They are gonna love this cake too. I’ll tag it
  • @hadiahjordan
    I bought the right ingredients and followed the instructions. Well worth it! Delicious and lemony.
  • @Akatsuki181.
