This has become my go-to cake. I use the sponge when I make other cakes, and I like doing twists on it, like making a blueberry curd, or raspberry curd and adding them to the lemon curd.
i can't wait to make this, I may top it with blueberries, strawberries and white chocolate curls, maybe even add some white chocolate to the buttercream..
This cake is absolutely awesome. Don't get me wrong, i love it as a whole, it's light, fresh, perfect for spring, but what really got me was the sponge. I mean, look at it, it's mesmerizing! I have never seen such a good looking, perfectly baked cake! Splendid job! Looking forward for some more!
Absolutely EPIC my Mammy talks about her childhood growing up in Dublin, how she misses her real soda bread, her white pudding, Gammon & Cabbage, how my nana would cook for us porridge with the milk sopping with just a tiny piece of sugar in the middle, How they made scones in Ireland, but in England they was not the same, I think a beautiful scone cannot come from a supermarket, but from a old fashioned cake shop still mammy says, "There better but still not the same" I am a beginner baker and disabled from a terrible accident, but I found this site and you have it all and more, So after buying every single piece of equipment That I need for cooking, All I need now is the ingredient's which I noticed in your Baking, Cake making, looks like I need to buy in Large Portions, In some Items, THANK YOU DONAL GR8 SITE looks like lovely friendly people on here, Wish me luck as they say practise makes perfect, Mammy has no idea Thanks Again Jo-Jo x
Hi Donal,OMG! Thank you so much!This was my Mother's favorite cake to have for her birthday since she was a little girl. The bakery where she used to get it is too far away now and she's been gone nine years so this will be a great surprise for my family! Thanks
The look on your face when you said, "If a cloud of flour smoke in the kitchen is what you like, by all means." is absolutely the reason I just subscribed to this channel. The recipe looks delicious, but that was hysterical.
Looks like a great cake! Will surely try it. One thing though, I hope you start shooting in your house in LA once you move in there like you did back in Ireland. I miss that homey feeling in this set. I am used to seeing you in YOUR kitchen and that was one of the greatest appeals of your videos!
Amazing cake, I love lemon curd. My little daughter's 6th birthday is coming up and she wants the exact same lemon cake that she saw in the book 'How many legs?' I think I found it. I'm sure this will knock her socks off.
I still have a tough time to get used to this kitchen! Donal, when will your kitchen junks and 'craps' (as you have amusingly put it in your kitchen-tour video) arrive?!
I just tried that today and it is so tangy! Incredible! Some might like it more than others. As for me, it's definitely not a daily delicacy. I'd save this for special occasions as you said. ;) Good job! Lemon lovers will love it!
I feel like I have seen you somewhere and I remembered it was that show on Natgeo! Glad to find your channel. This lemon curd looks heavenly. I'll definitely try this recipe this week!!!
Along this beautiful butter lemon cake with butter cream frosting it is essential to serve yourself a glass of melted butter and it is very important that you grease the glass with butter and oil before adding the melted butter. To enhance the taste of every bite of the cake it is ESSENTIAL to also bite a bar of frozen butter on the side with some powder sugar sprinkled on it and remember, if it's not 500+ calories a bite it is not essential! ^-^
I just wanted to say thank you for this lovely cake recepies. Absolutely delicious. Just made 4 of them for a wedding cake. Will let you know what they thought of it. I would like to cool them in the fridge before stacking them. Will that be alright? So grateful 😊
oh my God I love anything lemon I'm so making this you should be called essential lemon curd cake LOL you said the word enough essential is right this looks decadent love the new kitchen
I love it when you say to add just a table spoon of milk, and then pour in half the beaker. Thanks for the recipe. But I'm going to try it with orange or tangerine. I'm not into lemons. BTW, the studio light is a lot better now. Almost perfect. Just a tad, only a tad, too bright. (Like the brightness is turned up too much on the telly.)
Another cake that shall be created by the great and powerful wizard of Oz- Oh I mean me. Thanks for another great recipe Donal. I hope there is another update regarding your life in the USA
My sister would love this! Does it turn out as light and fluffy if you don't have a stand mixer? I think everything turns out so much nicer if you have the mixer especially for frosting! Cannot wait to get my hands on one of those mixers! Still saving 😁 love the new kitchen! Hope all is well! And Happy Easter! 🐣
Wow Donal That looks soo amazing to eat on Easter Sunday with family. I dont really get to eat dessert with lemon , but when i do its amazing moment to eat. Do you have recipes for students who dont have much on budget to spend but still can create something awesome eat? Love your videos!
You've done it again. This looks to be the best non-chocolate cake ever. Very appropriate for today. I don't have the cake but I did take out a jar of lemon curd to put on my leftover soldiers from my brekkie boiled egg. Deeelish. Thanks Donal!

I like how the mixer and spatula match the lemon theme!
Also, would recommend the M&S lemon curd, it's amazing!
This has become my go-to cake. I use the sponge when I make other cakes, and I like doing twists on it, like making a blueberry curd, or raspberry curd and adding them to the lemon curd.
Donal, you're just sunshine in a person! This recipe is great and with that accent, I could listen to you talk about anything!
+Lucy Neuburger LOL thank you :)
+Lucy Neuburger AGREEEe
I love how he's so excited about his creations !
Oh. My. Gosh. This looks so tart and delicious.
Love you Yo. I can imagine you making this cake in shape of a lemon...a giant lemon.
+How To Cake It YAY, so glad to hear you like it :)
OMG Yoooooooo!!
Make a giant lemon custard cake
man... that paddle attachement had a lot of buttercream frosting left on...
i can't wait to make this, I may top it with blueberries, strawberries and white chocolate curls, maybe even add some white chocolate to the buttercream..
Omg finally someone who puts the same amount of cake and cream in a cake! Finally!
This cake is absolutely awesome. Don't get me wrong, i love it as a whole, it's light, fresh, perfect for spring, but what really got me was the sponge. I mean, look at it, it's mesmerizing! I have never seen such a good looking, perfectly baked cake! Splendid job! Looking forward for some more!
Dear god. That looks incredible.!
OMG, Hi scramline. When I watch you video I wish I had the power to grab whatever your making and then just stuff it my mouth. 🍰😲

I made this for Easter dinner. It was unbelievably delicious. I cut back on the powdered sugar and added a bit more lemon zest. It was crazy good!
I am so making this when summer approaches! I imagine it being extremly good with fresh, swedish strawberries and some whipped cream as well!
+Sara Larsson Sounds delish!
Your 🍋 colour combination in many things looks so nice as well.
I made a lemon cake for my husband in February. I used lemon curd in it and topped it with raspberries. So good.
the cake was simple but elegant to look at :)

Hi Donal,OMG! Thank you so much!This was my Mother's favorite cake to have for her birthday since she was a little girl. The bakery where she used to get it is too far away now and she's been gone nine years so this will be a great surprise for my family! Thanks
I made this cake today for a birthday party and it effortlessly became the star!! Thank you for the recipe, Donal!
+TAK Wardhani glad it went down so well!
The look on your face when you said, "If a cloud of flour smoke in the kitchen is what you like, by all means." is absolutely the reason I just subscribed to this channel.
The recipe looks delicious, but that was hysterical.
Donal! Perhaps your best baking video to date. Wishing you and your family a Blessed Easter.
This would be lovely with just fresh cream instead of buttercream.....
That's exactly what 7m thinking
Couldn't agree more babybobs6
Lighter too to enjoy the lemon curd
I can't get over your accent ! I could listen to you all night (eating an Irish cupcake) ❤️ kisses from Belgium !
Looks like a great cake! Will surely try it. One thing though, I hope you start shooting in your house in LA once you move in there like you did back in Ireland. I miss that homey feeling in this set. I am used to seeing you in YOUR kitchen and that was one of the greatest appeals of your videos!

Or is where the magic happens.
Or is what it's all about :-)
It looked so delicious!

I still have a tough time to get used to this kitchen! Donal, when will your kitchen junks and 'craps' (as you have amusingly put it in your kitchen-tour video) arrive?!
Perfect Spring dessert! Looks amazing, Donal!
Love lemon cake in the spring and summer.
Looks like a dream! Yummy
Happy Easter Donal and Sophie, I hope you are settling into your new location!
I just tried that today and it is so tangy! Incredible! Some might like it more than others. As for me, it's definitely not a daily delicacy. I'd save this for special occasions as you said. ;) Good job! Lemon lovers will love it!

Looks refreshing and delicious! Great job as usual!

I love it when you say to add just a table spoon of milk, and then pour in half the beaker.
Thanks for the recipe. But I'm going to try it with orange or tangerine. I'm not into lemons.
BTW, the studio light is a lot better now. Almost perfect. Just a tad, only a tad, too bright. (Like the brightness is turned up too much on the telly.)

Looks so delicious and fresh.
The Gray Boxwood has a lovely lemon curd recipe.
kinda reminds me of the one my grandma does. i love the fluffyness :D gotta try this one
Mouthwatering! How hard would this be without a stand mixer? It's the one thing I don't have.
My sister would love this! Does it turn out as light and fluffy if you don't have a stand mixer? I think everything turns out so much nicer if you have the mixer especially for frosting! Cannot wait to get my hands on one of those mixers! Still saving 😁 love the new kitchen! Hope all is well! And Happy Easter! 🐣

OK!!!! I want some now! This is going to my next church potluck!!! thank you, from Texas!

Looks great. Biggest fan of yours
I swear I could smell the lemon through the screen!

Making this for Easter dessert!

You've done it again. This looks to be the best non-chocolate cake ever. Very appropriate for today. I don't have the cake but I did take out a jar of lemon curd to put on my leftover soldiers from my brekkie boiled egg. Deeelish. Thanks Donal!
I love your videos Donal!
It was AMAZING. Thanks
It looks super yummy...😍
I made it for my birthday, thank you, Donal, for the recipe! It's a pity I can't embed a pic of it here.
