It's really mouth watering for sure
Assalamualaikum i tried ur cup cakes its very testy n vry vry softy thnk u so much for every recipes of cakes I also tried ur vanilla sponge chocolate sponge n red velvet it was awsm
Do you have a cookbook? I am very interested in purchasing one
because all you recipes seem so delicious but easy to make.
@cakesbyMK can you please make date filled cookies?
Dear sis can you share a portion to fit a loaf pan? I like loaf cakes cuz they’re easier to make and also for portion control since I making it for myself 💀😆 thanks in advance 🤍
I love lemon curd and lemon-based desserts. Cannot wait to try this 🍋🍋☀☀
I’m literally drooling ❤
Yes, so am I. 😊
Haha thank you!! Hope you enjoy the recipe :D
Your lemon cake is superb. I made your lemon curd 2 days ago. Yesterday I baked your cake. Today made frosting n assemble it.
AND now am eating it. Wowww really wowww
I normally don't favor lemon cake but yours is something. Next will try your tres cake👍👍👍❤
I’m in love with every recipe you do ❤ can you do soft cookies for next video? Please 🙏😘😘😘
Agree 💯
Aww thank you all so so so much! :D Will keep a soft cookie recipe in mind for future videos - I do plan to share some cookie recipes in a few months time :D
Oh my gosh I want to make this tomorrow if I have enough lemons! This is making me crave it! WOW it looks absolutely spectacular
Same here, let me know how it taste if you want!😊
I made it, the texture is spot-on spongy and moist in all the right ways. but, let’s talk sugar. There is a sweetness overload that even coffee can’t balance out. Ended up with a headache. My advice? Go easy on the sugar to let that lemon shine without overpowering.
I love all her recipes, but I use 250 grams of sugar instead of 300. ( I do that for all her recipes 😏)
Just DELICIOUS!! Thank You 🥰🥰 You are definitely THE EXPERT in doing cakes 💃🏻💃🏻
I loved ur OG lemon cake already. I wonder how can it be even more better 😊. Love all ur recipes. Recently i made my son ur cookies and cream cake and was not too sweet and it was the best i have ever made.
Ditto!
Haha yesss there are many people who loved the original! I would have kept it as is but there were quite a few people having issues with the cakes sinking so decided to amend it slightly :)
So so happy to hear you loved the cookies and cream cake too, really appreciate the wonderful feedback :D
This is the best cake recipe I have ever tried. I love it so much that I made it for my brother's two tier wedding cake and they absolutely loved it. So moist but yet so sturdy and full of flavour! And the layers turned out nice and level so it was the most relaxed wedding cake experience for me!
I really appreciate your putting in the nutritional information in your recipe. My son has diabetes and has to keep track of carbs but loves lemon. So, this is perfect!
Looks so delicious!! And the lemon curd looks so good
Can't wait to try this recipe myself. Thank you for sharing. I love your videos

Made this today (only adjustment I made was, I put less amount powder sugar in Frosting. I don't have exact measurements. I just put I tbsp and beat the frosting and tasted it).
This turned out amazing ❤ thanks for the great recipe.

Thanks for sharing this delicious cake. My favourite flavour is lemon, and love how you added plenty of lemon, as I usually double what recipes say! And with cream cheese frosting... well that's just the icing on the cake as they say! I have made a mistake by watching it this evening &l have to wait until morning to make it! And great to see you use a spatula to scrape the bowl :) so many don't.
Made your Lemon Bar recipe the other night and it was another hit. Can always count on your recipes for being reliable and delicious.
Aww yay! So so happy to hear you loved the lemon bars :D

Oooh! Sooo yummy maashaa allah
Can i use salted butter for cream cheese frosting
YUMMMMMMMMM😊
I’ve done several of your recipes and they turned out great. I am new to baking. I had a problem and I like if you could possibly explain what I did wrong. After I cooked the lemon curd. I let it set. Then I did the butter icing. When I put the icing on the first layer. I used the piping bag to crest a small edge to keep the lemon curd from dripping over the edges but the top layer was sliding off the bottom cake. Was a mess. The lemon curd didn’t stiffen And maybe I used to much icing and lemon curd on the first cake. Not sure. Taste good but the top cake was sliding off the bottom cake. After in the fridge for a couple hours it was good and the lemon curd did stiffen up. Thankyou for your time. Thankyou
Hi Chris! :) So happy to hear you're enjoying the recipes :D
In terms of the cakes sliding, this can happen when too much lemon curd is placed in the centre, or the piped dam around the edge isn't high enough. It used to happen to me all the time so you are not alone!
What you want to try and do is make the dam around the edges higher than the lemon curd, so that when the second cake layer is placed on top, the edges are resting on the buttercream as opposed to the lemon curd. In terms of the lemon curd not stiffening, you may need to add a little more cornstarch, or pop the lemon curd into the fridge while you're making the rest of the cake as this will help it become more firm and therefore it's less likely to cause sliding when used on the cake. Hope that helps for next time :)
Looks yummy... definitely gonna try this...can I substitute yoghurt with buttermilk?
Thank you!! :D I haven't tried buttermilk as a substitute myself, but the yoghurt does add a lot of flavor so I would probably suggest sticking to the yoghurt if possible :)
Enjoy!
Muchas graciasss por un martes dulce❤, se ve deliciosa como siempre. Una cosa hoy hice el biscocho de vainilla y funfetti y los fideos de colores se fundieron en el bizcocho al final no se vieron, que me sugieres?
You're so welcome! :D And hmmm this could be due to the type of sprinkles used. You want to try and use very bright colored sprinkles and ones that are relatively firm (usually the cheap artificial colored ones are best to use as opposed to ones that use natural color) :)
Hope that helps!
Hey! I always follow your recipes.. Last time I made your lemon curd.. Using milk.. It was little grainy.. Is that normal texture? Or should I try straining that?
Hi there! Thank you so much for trusting my recipes :D. For the lemon curd, it should end up smooth. This could be due to not cooking the lemon curd enough (initially the mixture is grainy but should become smooth once the cornstarch is activated by heat) or not putting in enough cornstarch :)
It's important not to overcook the lemon curd too, so what I would recommend is letting it thicken up over a medium heat, and if its still curdled once hot, then add in a bit more cornstarch. One its smooth then take it off the heat immediately. Hope that helps! :)
Thank you! Would you do a Blondie recipe next??
You're so welcome! I totally have a blondie recipe in the works so hopefully will be releasing one in the next couple months!
Hi MK! Sorry I’m making this comment on your wonderful new video which was awesome per usual!❤ no I made your homemade cake release recently and I did equal parts, butter, oil and flour and I don’t know what I did wrong but my cake ended up with a crispy outer crust along the edge. If you have any advice on this, I would really appreciate it and also for chocolate cake or any chocolate bake, usually use butter and cocoa powder to treat my pans so I don’t end up with white flower all over my chocolate bacon. Would I be able to make a chocolate cake release using the same recipe?
Heya! :D No need to apologise at all! This can happen if there is too much of the cake release used, so maybe try reducing the amount and hopefully this helps :)
In terms of a chocolate cake release, I haven't tried that myself so I'm really not too sure sorry! When I use the cake release with my chocolate cakes I find that it doesn't leave a white residue as there isn't any loose/dry flour (if that makes sense) :)
Hello.. love all your recipe.. can you please make a bento cake recipe ? Will be waiting..
Thank you so much Divya! Will keep a bento cake recipe in mind for future videos :D
How can we adjust cooking time if we double the batter?
Hi there! :) I wouldn't recommend adding too much batter into one cake tin, so if making double the batter, you would want to distribute it into four 8inch cake tins or two larger cake tins. Because of this, the cooking time will be roughly around the same as the original baking time :)
Hope that helps!
Can i leave the milk out.and use other liquid like.water or juice
Hi there! I would recommend using milk (or making your own using powdered milk) for best results :)
I'd like a blueberry cake if you don't mind😊
Hi there! :) I have a lemon blueberry cake that I'll link below, but will also be sharing a simple blueberry cake very soon :D
cakesbymk.com/recipe/moist-lemon-blueberry-cake/
If I make this into cupcakes how long would I bake them for?
Hi there! About 18 mins :)
Enjoy!
This might be silly but can I bake this as a sheet cake and then cut it in half to make the layers. I want to bake it tonight and I don’t have the right baking pans
Yes you definitely can,I also don't have the right baking pan,but I'll do it similar to how you will do it.
Heya! :) Yes you could do that, though the layers may be a bit thinner and due to the cake being quite soft the thinner layers may be harder to manage. Just be sure the cake layer is completely cool before trying to torte it. You could also make 1.5x the recipe for a thicker cake that might be easier to torte. Alternatively, you could keep it as one layer and put the frosting and lemon curd on top :D
Hope that helps and hope you enjoy the recipe!
@@CakesbyMK Thank you so much ☺️
Please bring lemon pie recipe please
Can you make black forest cake please sister
Oh no, MK, an update?? LOL, my sis just received her lemon cake in the mail today, the one I made from your first recipe. She says she can't wait to assemble it.
Haha that's totally fine! If you find that the original recipe doesn't cave in on you and bakes up well then you can totally stick to the original recipe :D it has more lemon flavor but a more delicate structure so the updated version just has a bit more structure :)
Hope your sis loved it! :D
@@CakesbyMK Oh yeah, she did love it. And it did not arrive smooshed, LOL
❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤
Cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẽ công thức làm nên món bánh nhìn rất ngon và hấp dẫn 💕 🎉Chúc bạn và gia đình nhiều sức khỏe an lành hạnh phúc và thành công ❤❤❤luôn đồng hành cùng bạn ạ ❤❤🎉.
I made this cake today. The flavour is very rich and is super soft. I will do it again, but next time, I will use less sugar, the cake himself was way too sweet for my taste 🙈
I have made cakes by you before and all fantastic!...this one tasted amazing but was disappointed on how flat the cake layers were! they were not as high as yours and I followed the recipe to the letter, and went over it again and again ti see if I missed something....I noticed that in your instructions you say to add in baking soda with the dry ingredients....but in the video and in the ingredient list there is no baking soda listed...not sure if that would have any impact on the rising of the cake. I guess I will have to make it again and see...just curious how many grams of did each of your cke pans weigh with the batter? mine were about 987 grams each with the batter and I have the same size cake pans as you.
Hello I like your tutorial how you bake your cake. do you have a class where you can training people please
Thanks so much Linda! :) I do have a few courses that you may like to check out on my blog :) cakesbymk.com/courses/
Hope that helps!
The top of the cakes were no more brown but pale yellow even before un-moulding (4:22) !!
They appeared brown in the oven though ( 4:17).
What is the technique??
Hi there! Good question :)
This is simply due to the lighting - it looks brown in the oven but thats simply because there is less light so everything looks darker than it actually is :)
Hope that helps!
@@CakesbyMK thank you
I am your big fan mk I am a 14 year old and want you to plz make ka lotus cake ❤❤❤
❤👍🏿
Bonsoir j adore vos recettes mais c est dommage qu elles ne soient pas traduites en plusieurs langues comme d autres sites.
😊
Hi there! :) I am so sorry I don't know why CZcams won't let me manually add subtitles anymore. Apparently subtitles are automatically added on now so there should be a setting that allows you to turn it on :)
@@CakesbyMK bonjour je vous remercie. Je vais me renseigner pour les paramètres peut-être cela vient-il de mon téléphone.
Bonne journée
Isn’t this glass bowl get scratched because of the metal whisk?
🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋🍋
What exactly is the difference between this and the original recipe? Would help if you tell us what’s making the cake better.
Hi there! You can read more about this on my blog post :) cakesbymk.com/recipe/soft-lemon-cake/
In short, the updated version has a bit more structure!
hi very nice please pineapple cake upload thanks
Your cakes are delicious… I love baking but I wondering why my cakes goes very brown and not ever the same colour as your when it’s ready …🤔🤔
Thank you so much! :D This is likely due to your cake being too high in the oven. Try placing it one rack lower in the oven and see if this helps :)
If you find that your cakes are slightly overbaking too, then it could also be that your oven is running a little hot, so you could reduce the temperature slightly too. Hope that helps! :)
