Amazing Strawberry Lemonade Cake Recipe

Asked my family to make this for my birthday and is was unbelievably delicious. Now several other people also want this cake for their birthdays! Soooo goood.

I just spend the afternoon making this for a friend's birthday dinner.... and then I had to throw it away! Thank god I tasted the scraps from trimming the cakes along with the butter cream and jam. To say this thing is too sweet is an understatement. It is nauseatingly sweet. It's unbearable. Then I looked again at the recipe - no wonder: 1.4kg of sugar in the recipe (excluding the natural sugars in an extra 500-800g strawberries. Thats over 3 lbs of sugar in a tiny cake - balanced by only 1/2 teaspoon salt. It looks pretty - it's not edible.

I am planning on making this for my daughters 2 birthday. I’ll see how I go ❤😂 John you do it Soo perfectly! 😝

Why do you use baking soda?

You are so talented at making this cake beautifully without showing any stress. I'm so jealous. Looks amazing and I'll have to try it. 👏

I like to explore the bottom too…

I have diabetes now.....

This is yummy

We made this last night and it was delicious! The helpful baking tips were awesome. We halved the recipe and made just a two tier cake. We used a 9x13 pan and cut bake to 25 mins. I imagine a 7 X 11 pan would have been ideal, but delicious none the less!

love the videos but why is it called lemonade it doesnt make sense

Hi Sir, I really loved ur recipe and love to bake it. Just a question can I use the green lemon instead of the yellow?? Thank you 🙏🏽

Do you work at a bakery?

I would love to see a lavender vanilla cake. W/lavender colored frosting!! Yum

LMAO! You are as clumsy as I am!! I’m so glad you put these f ups in the fideo! You make me laugh! I can so relate!

Incredible

WOW YOU GOT KIDS
HOW BLESS THEY ARE TO HOW YOU
A DAD THATS A COOKING GOD🌹

Would blueberries work one for one? I have frozen blueberries but no strawberries!

I’m going to make this for my sister & BIL’s upcoming anniversary, but I want to do 3 six inch layers. John, do you have any recommended measurement changes?

The cake is beautiful, my mouth is just watering yum yum.🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

🤤🤤🎂🎂

My son had never baked a cake from scratch until March 2023. He made you Devil food cake for MY 40th bday and i only had one slice as EVERYONE ate it and loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!! since then he has made your carmel, your strawberry lemon and now your lemon cake for his great grandmothers 89th bday and they are alllllllllllllll a hit. You have turned my cake eating contractor into a contractor who makes creations that family and friend crave THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

I made this cake, used blueberry instead. Also i put blueberries in the middle layer. It was a hit. Thank you

Cake looks delicious but why have you not moist the layers with some juice

I love this 🍰 cake! I did a bit of a variation to this so I put beaten cream with sliced strawberries on a cut open cup cake!! Yummy!!!! Thanks Preppy kitchen, first sponge type cake I've made!!! Will definitely make it again 🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰😊😊😊😊💯💯💯

Quick question, I want to make this with Italian meringue buttercream. Do I add the lemon juice too or just the strawberry reduction?

Which type of oven best for cake baking ?
Please answer my question 🥺

Goated

Can you show me how to make colombian torta negra. I know it contains wine but it’s delicious.

Wow!!!

John cutting the tops off the strawberry isn’t hulling them taking the centre white core out is hulling.

Well I could feel my blood sugar spiking just watching you make this cake, but boy it would be worth it! It's beautiful too. Nice work! ❤️

Strawberry blackberry is a great combo!

This is my fave sponge😭

I think you should come and live with me in London :-)

I had so much frosting left over…8 cups of confectionery sugar seemed way too much.

i ljjvhvh bb

looks yummy!

So tried this recipe today and here is my opinion :
First of all don't leave the strawberries too long in the pan mine dried up way too badly they were stone hard. I would also recommend to cook it like 15 min.
And I personally really don't like the frosting. For my taste it's way too sweet. It tastes like eating sugar. Even though I love sweets it really too much for me personally yes but I will update you how it tastes tomorrow 👍
Update : it's not that bad how I feared at first. When the creme is cold before you serve it it tastes just right but when it gets warmer it melts really baldy and doesn't taste as good and way to sweet then

I would go ham on that thing

Those looks absolutely delicious, and I believe this is what I will attempt to make for a ladies gathering on the 15th!

I just wanted to let you know that my ten-year-old son and I made this cake this week for my wife's birthday and it was such a success! Well, actually we had to make a modification because our grocery store was out of strawberries, so we made a raspberry lemonade cake, but everything else was exactly the same. This was the first time we had ever made a cake completely from scratch - no boxed cake mix, pre-made frosting, or artificial flavors. My wife says it's the best cake she's ever had. Thanks so much!

I've watched a bunch of your Videos this week and I have to say you need to invest in a Flex edge mixing head. I almost never have to scrap down the sides of my bowl. It saves SO much time.

Thank you for being real and showing your goofs.

Can you tell the weight of this cake? Three or two pounds?

Can you make these into cupcakes please 🙏

Do you have a recipe for Mandarin Orange Cake?

Can I use frozen strawberries?

My life goal is to have an oven big enough to cook 3 cakes at once

Looks delicious Thank you for London
