Anyone how do I get the recipe for this?thanks!!
It's listed in the description, as well as in the video when I add them. You can also get the printable recipe from a link in the description!
It's in her blog
@@PastryLivingwithAya 6:59
It's under the "more" word under the video. Just touch more and the recipe will come up
Did you even watch the video at all
Oh she is precious if she thinks that cake would last more than 24 hours in the average home! You can snack on that cake, have a slice with breakfast, enjoy it @ lunch, and finally treat yourself to a slice w/some vanilla bean ice cream after dinner. So many options!🍋I really love that she had her cake w/lemon tea. Very classy!
I'm glad it was a success!! Thank you for sharing❤️
Lol,
Itll be gone in 5min after the kids arrive from school
😂I intend to make two🤤
😂 you’re absolutely correct 😊
Oh my goodness 😊. I love anything lemon 🥰. I can’t wait to make this!
I’ve been baking for over 45 years and I can tell that this lemon pound cake recipe is an EXCELLENT one!🔥🔥🥰🙌🏽👏🏽
Have you tried this cake recipe? Have you made it? She puts 8.5 oz for the flour but she puts 2 US cups next to it? But cups are 8 oz each so I am confused, what measurements did you use?
That’s a typo. It should be 8.0 not 8.5oz cups. Two full cups. I haven’t baked this yet but the recipe is legit. Try it and see.🤗
@@theogrelord4036a cup of flour doesn't weigh 8 ounces. It's more like 5. Liquids and solids are 8 ounces. It took me a while to figure this out too :). I'd weigh at this stage in baking rather than measure. That took me some time to figure out weighing was much more better too :).
This lemon pound cake gave me a perfect slice of joy for the whole week😇🍋 A must-try for all lemon cake lovers!
❤
Were is the recipe?

@Kibbie Morales how can I receive the recipe
Recipe@@sharonmckinnie304
I am not a baker, I am a cook. I am starting to bake in my 50s. This recipe peaked my interest because it has quality ingredients. She also puts a lot of care and detail into it. It looks like it belongs in a very expensive bakery.👏🏻👍🏻😁Celeste from NY
I lost my mother's pound cake recipe. You have the exact recipe she had. I have made this so many times. It's wonderful. My aunt made wedding cakes and she used the same recipe minus the glaze. The more air you incorporate the lighter the cake.
Oh wow! Such a wonderful memories😌 Yes, whipping it a lot is important!!
❤
Stop lying
@@PastryLivingwithAya can i reduce the amount of sugar???
I baked this recipe 2x already . It’s the best lemon pound cake I ever baked. I used 5x9 loaf pan. Thank you for sharing👍👍👍
Aww I'm so glad! Thank you❤️
@simplybleu I've made this recipe twice and the cake is really lemony. Bright and clear lemon flavor throughout without being too much.
I have to add though, it all depends how much you add zest in the end.
@simplybleu Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely look into it! I've never thought of drying the peels and mixing in savory dishes. Sounds great
This is such a perfect lemon cake! I’ve tried so many other recipes but this is the one I’ll always use (and share with friends and family). Thank you 😊 🍋💛
I'm so happy to hear that!!😊 Thank you❤️
I usually don't give feedback to recipes I try online... But had to this time. Absolutely delicious reminds me of Starbucks lemon loaf. I had a smaller loaf pan so made 4 muffins along with loaf. This is a keeper. My husband loves it too. Thanks for sharing
I'm so glad!! Thank you so much for sharing the result❤️ & Great tip about the muffins!
♥️♥️♥️
Great cooking! It looks like the one I tasted at Wendy's in Buenos Aires.
Congrats on your supplying all the tips😊
Thankyou for all the extra hints and tips that will make the difference between a great cake and an ordinary cake!
My pleasure!😌 I really want you guys to succeed making it at home. Thank you for appreciating them❤️
@@PastryLivingwithAya 😊 0:36
Well said VILLANELLE. Those little extra tips make all the difference. Frank in Czechia
This cake looks really delicious, this is a great recipe 👌. I've uploaded a new lemon cake video yesterday, I would be very happy to share it with you 😍 ❤️
@@PastryLivingwithAyagreat tips
That cake looks so moist and looks really lemony 😋😋 And I love that she explains the science behind the baking 🌟 I will definitely try this recipe and won't mess up the steps 😀 😋😋🍰
Thank you❤️❤️
I actually just made her recipe it is delicious and moist...... try it......
Agreed! I particularly appreciate Knowing why I’m doing something when baking as the methods require more precision than cooking. Knowing the science helps with troubleshooting culinary hiccups to absolve failures. It also helps when wanting (or needing) to adapt an existing recipe or even eventually trying your hand at recipe creation.
Grandma’s lemon pound cake! ☺️
Made it once and fell in love. Had to make two more loafs the next day for my mom and sister. Such a lovely gift ❤
This one took me to my childhood. It's my mom's favorite, we always had it on the table, and it became my brother's favorite also. They are 87 and 58 now
Looks absolutely yummy! Looking forward to making this for my wife. Thanks for sharing it!
There is no way this would be around for 4 days. It looks divine!
I just made it from this off of her direction, absolutely delicious,my wife gave me the thumbs 😅
I ate it before it left the oven.
Most of the time we make a chocolate cake or brownie at home and never actually tried something different that can be so delicious, i always had lemon cakes mostly at airports but never thought of baking one ever, but ur recipe nailed it 👌
Stunning! I am glad to see you stir in flour, rather than beat it in, avoiding gluten building up.
Thank you!!
Gluten Build up? Can you explain this? I generally shift my flour for my lb cake and cream the eggs and butter?
@@CurvyGirlsareChic Hi there-while sifting flour lightens it, when flour is beaten with a mixer into the butter/eggs wet mixture, the gluten elasticizes (for lack of a better word), making the finished cake tough, and dry, I found. Took me 50 years to know this. Kind of slow here, LOL
@@vicb5098 oh wow I never knew this I guess because I never had tough cake.. thanks for the info..
My goodness, that looks incredibly moist! I'll have to give this a try. Thanks for sharing 💗
My pleasure! I hope you'll enjoy!!
Anything lemony is just wonderful...I WILL be making this recipe this week. ❤❤❤ your channel!
I just made this today and served it for desert. It's fantastic. Moist and lemony! It was super helpful to be able to reference the video while I was mixing to make sure that I was mixing it well enough. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!
Looks delicious 😋
Amazing Recipe me and my daughter is baking it right now 💕
Love the addition of the glaze, to keep the cake loaf moist between the time when you bake it, until it eventually gets all eaten/finished up…!
Excellent step (just before the icing) IMO, & a lot of people don’t do this. Thank you!🍋💕🙏🏼☺️
🍋 Absolutely delicious Thanks for sharing.
This is one of the prettiest cake batter I have seen, I love Lemon pound cake(baking and eating).
Thank you!
This pound cake looks perfect.🍋🍋
Thank you!
I really appreciate the explanations as to why you are doing things :) super helpful to understand the 'why' behind your methods. thanks!
texture looks fantastic.
That looks absolutely delicious. I love pound cake. Thank you so much 🍋🍋🎂
My pleasure!! Me too😋
Just put this in the oven and am so excited! I'm not a huge cake person (most I try are too dry) but Love lemon loafs. This was super easy to make and produced some of the best tasting batter I've ever tried haha. I don't have any powdered sugar to make the icing but I think even with the syrup it'll be delicious :) Will come back once it's done, so far I enjoyed making this.
Edit: Yeah it was delicious LMAO Only thing is that mine didn't rise as much and I'm wondering if I just didn't whip it long enough but my arms were tired so I gave up. Either way it tastes great haha
I'm glad!! I'm glad it was a success!🙌🏻 And about the height, I'm guessing the same as well.
Thank you for sharing the result!!
Can't wait to make this beauty!
Thanks Lady!
That looks so good!!! I LOVE lemon everything!!!
I made this today and omg was it delicious. It turned out so yummy, I made half of the recipe and I added orange zest and juice along with the lemon it came out perfect, the only thing i would change is the loaf pan i used, it was a non stick and i think with another like the one you used it would have risen higher. regardless it came out sooooo soft like it melted in my mouth before i could chew it and the syrup really made the citrus pop. Definetly going to follow more recipes from you .
I'm SO glad to hear that!! I love that orange twist😊 And great tip about the pan, I agree that non-stick pan would be the best choice to keep the height high.
Thank you for sharing the experience!❤️
❤
@@PastryLivingwithAya Can you please share where to purchase your loaf pan please?
I LOVE your videos , thank you for this recipe I will definitely try it.
Thank you🍋❤️
I am imagining how lemony and delicious this cake must smell.
I love lemon! This looks absolutely divine😍
A refreshing lemon pound cake is perfect for this season! 🍋
And it`s so soft and moist ! Very good ! 👍✨
I also love the lemon icing on top 😋
Thank you! The icing completes this cake❤️
@@PastryLivingwithAya Unless dear Aya, one is trying for various health reasons, to REDUCE one's intake of sugar.
This cake looks really delicious, this is a great recipe 👌. I've uploaded a new lemon cake video yesterday, I would be very happy to share it with you 😍 ❤️

😋 looks delicious, a must bake cake!
Hi Aya!! I only just discovered your channel and blog and it's absolutely amazing!! the quality of the videos are great, and the printable option in your blog is amazing and so convenient. It's so good to have the steps written down and the videos to see how it should look like for people like me who are learning :) thank you so much for your work and all your efforts, I look forward to baking with you :D
Thank you!! I'm still learning a lot, especially about how to write blog posts but I am so glad you feel that way🥹 I hope to improve both platforms slowly.
By far the best lemon cake of all the many I watched and tried. Good job :-)
Just made this tonight! It was so delicious and fluffy! Thank you for sharing such a terrific recipe. I’ll definitely be adding it to my collection of favorites.
I'm glad!! Thank you for sharing the result❤️
Aya, you’re truly talented!!
I’m the worst person about giving reviews, most of the recipes I tried I ended adding or taking off something; but with you is like finding the perfect balance of flavors and texture and even when I reduce the sugar, for personal preference, I know that if I’m doing for a guest have the confidence that don’t have to change anything to you’re recipes. Thank you so much😀
Wow thank you so much🥰 I so appreciate that!!
thank you so much best cake ever😝🤩😄 😇🍞
So good, so yummy, i simply love lemon cakes
