I love how she isn't editing out all the mistakes. Makes me like her more

If you need something special to make for Mother’s Day next weekend, this is THE cake!

Also, for my European followers, you can use vegan crème fraîche instead of sour cream!

My boyfriend made it for my Birthday when you dropped it on your blog and it was so tasty so delicious I didn’t share it with any guests🤪 it was present and I ate it🥳

i made this recipe for my coworker's birthday, and the entire office was obsessed! 🥰 i served it with sliced strawberries between the layers and on top. definitely recommend doing it that way. makes it more exciting.
for me, the frosting didn't turn out anything like yours did (mine was a lot runnier) but it was still delicious. :) i made it into a drip-style cake, almost like what you would see on a lemon loaf.

edit: i would like to add that this cake + frosting took me forever to make lol. so definitely set aside a generous amount of time to allow yourself to bake this 😅 the frosting benefits a lot from being in the fridge for several hours before being added to the cake

I made this for a dinner party last night and everyone raved about it! One of them said it was "the best cake I've ever had" vegan or not, and that he wishes he could somehow teleport the taste to other people so that they know what he's talking about when he tells them how delicious this cake is. I made sure to give them your recipe. Thank you, Nisha!

i’m so happy to see your channel blow up over the past few years. i’ve tried a lot of your recipes, some many times, and they are the BEST. i know i can rely on you. thanks ❤

I can't wait to try this. I have made a blueberry-lemon cake for years (non-vegan) with blueberries baked in the filling. The blueberry-lemon combo is out of this world.

I made this cake for my family last weekend, and it turned out beautifully. They’re already asking me when I’m going to make another 😅 Thanks so much for sharing this recipe with us!

My mom was a hobby cake decorator. Instead of the cake board, you can tuck strips of wax paper (I imagine parchment paper would also work) under the cake. Easier to remove.

I made it, and I love it so much! Even my parents that are not vegan also love it. Every recipe that I had tried of your channel is a success!! Thank you for sharing.

I'm going to make this for my birthday at the end of this month! can't beat a lemon cake!

[yerko]

[sheilab]

[hadiahjordan]

I bought the right ingredients and followed the instructions. Well worth it! Delicious and lemony.

[Treyrockschrist]

I think I want to give this a try but add some blueberries on top top too. Looks super yummy!!!

[Romandottir]

Hi Nisha! I made it yesterday for my husband's birthday. It's delicious! The only change I need to make is the amount of powder sugar in the forsting as it's definitely too sweet for us. You're right, always try your frosting before! :D

[bronch]

This will be my mother's day cake this year. My mom absolutely ❤ lemon!! Also, to keep the board from slipping, you can put a bit of frosting directly on the stand before placing the board. Not my idea, my aunt is a retired professional baker lol. 😂

The way your video release is always timed for after my nap 😂😍
