I made this for my future sister in laws Bridal shower and everyone loved it and were shocked when I said I made it because they thought it was gotten from a bakery. I made 2 lemon layers, 2 almond cake layers and used a plain cream cheese frosting and a blackberry compote between the layers, it was honestly heavenly! I reduced the amount of powered sugar in the frosting to only 2 cups because I thought the sweetness to cream cheese tang was just right at only 2 cups. Thank you John for the amazing recipes!

John, 12 years ago, my mother-in-law was turning 80 (she's still with us). Our daughter, then an 8th grader, made and decorated a huge lemon cake for the party. It was big enough to feed 40 people. When it came to the frosting, she sent her Dad to the store for lemons, and he came back with only one teeny little thing. We finally ended up using two pounds of lemons. The cake was so yummy that the frosting tasted like lemonade. After the party, all the kids kept sneaking extra cake for tbeir midnight snacks. By morning the whole thing was gone. Best cake we ever had. I do still want to try yours, too.

Hey, I'm from Jordan, Middle East. I made this recipe and just the smell while it's in the oven took my heart.
The taste is amazing and I love how much quality you put in it (and when you talked about your childhood). Thank you so much :') ❤️❤️
Ps:the greatest thing in adulthood that you can eat a lot of cake batter without permission 😂😍😍.
