I did this recipe today... and wow, it was awesome! really soft, nice lemon flavor... perfect.

I tried this today and it went so good on the first try! I baked it on a normal round pan at 150C for 1 hour since I don’t have the tube pan and it still came out fluffy and the texture is almost melt-in-your-mouth! Would definitely save this recipe ❤️

Hi, This recipe looks amazing. Would want to try it soon. Just a question, I only have a convection microwave oven. Can u pls how to bake this cake in Convection Microwave Oven. Pls

[cherylminette]

Looks beautiful but the lemon zest should have been more finely grated. Other than that, a very charming cake. I'm going to have a try.

Hi may I know what type of oven are you using so I could estimate the baking time and temperature, thank you for the recipe.

We usually don't get lemon here...can we use lime .If so how much of lime can we substitute coresspondinly.
Think lime is stronger in flavour...don't know

[lorrainecaddy]

Looks really light and fluffy. I'm so going to make this. Thanks for sharing X

[lorad]

can someone tell me if the 150c is it correct? just wondering if it needs to be converted.

[NoorjahanRyanIshaan]

Can I make this cake in conventional oven ?if so what temperature I should use for water bath.Usually I bake my cake in 180 degree.Kindly guide me

[boxofstuff]

does anyone know what the baking time would be if I made this in a muffin tray? thanks

edit: the answer is 11 minutes in the same temperature oven. also, use muffin liners (the little paper cup things) instead of greasing the muffin tray, that way the sides won't be brown. as for the water bath, just fill one of the spots on the muffin tray with warm water and fill the rest around it with batter. that way, there is still steam in the oven! :)

Can you please tell me the temperature and duration if i make this in my microwave convection oven? Please advise

[tulsi]

we have to keep this batter along with hot water bath inside the oven for baking ???

[kavitakundu]

Can I use the same method in Convection Microwave Oven... 🙏 Answer.

Zowie. Simple yet fabulous. Also, very nicely crafted video presentation...no narration, yet clear and understandable, even for a hack like me (I'm teaching myself how to quarantine-bake). I cannot wait to try my hand at this one. (Anything lemon!)

Any idea why my cake collapsed in the center past 15mins of baking?

[catherinedavid]

I made this cake today and it was overwhelmingly lemony and oily however, I’m going to make it again replacing the oil with butter and using just one lemon. I also had to turn down oven temperature to 140* for fan assisted. Will let you know results when I have baked it.
Many thanks for recipe.
