I made this cake for a shower, people asked me if it was gluten free. I was kind of embarrassed. This cake is not fluffy at all. Won’t be using this recipe again , sorry

I just made this cake last Saturday, . 7/29/2023. The cake came out very dense like a pound cake, but not as moist as the pound cake I make. I noticed that 3 1/2 cups of plain all purpose flour seemed like a lot. Most two layer cakes I make call for 2 cups of flour. My pound cake recipe only calls for 3 cups plain all purpose flour with 1 cup of butter and 1/2 cup of Crisco shortening The icing recipe was not firm enough and I only used 1/2 a stick of butter and 7 cups of confectioners sugar. I had to put the cake in the freezer for a little bit to firm up the icing. I did make the lemon curd from scratch too. All in all it was a pretty good cake, but I will be tweaking this recipe, like maybe adding 1/2 cup Crisco shortening which would help make it moist.

I made a double batch and the dough was delicious. I did cake flour instead. One complaint I have 2 of the layers cracked. I’m going to freeze for a special big birthday party, can’t use them, will not make this cake again. If it cracks I can’t decorate a bummer.

I followed the newly tested version of this recipe and it was still quite heavy and dense (reminded me of a pound cake or loaf cake rather than a layer cake. Wanted to love this but it just did not turn out as pictured or described.

I made this cake today and it was fabulous! After reading through the comments I only added 1-1/2 top of baking powder. I added extra zest and juice to everything so it was extra lemony.:) overall we did not find it to be overly dense and plenty sweet. It was fluffy and yummy! Will definitely be making this again! I wish I could post a picture. I made it in two xlong loaf pans and garnished with lemon slices and blueberries. It was beautiful!

I also found the cake very dense and it broke apart. I have “cake baking” skills so not the issue. The cake was also more scone-like in taste.

In reply to Sydney. Hi Sydney, yes, raspberry jam would be an excellent substitute for the lemon curd!
