Do you think I could substitute raspberries for the blueberries?

In reply to Kaitlyn. You'd get about 22-24 cupcakes depending on the size. Yes, bake time is close to that so keep your eye on them.

How many cupcakes would you say this recipe would translate to? Looking to make it a wedding and I am curious how many batches I will need to make so I can purchase the ingredients for it. Loved the recipe as a layer cake, Bake for 18-20 mins still?

I’m planning to make this cake for a bridal shower soon! I noticed the note about using smaller blueberries. I know I can find frozen wild blueberries which are often quite small. Can I use frozen blueberries in this cake? If so, should I thaw them first or can I put them in the cake frozen?

In reply to Madelyn Powell. You just wouldn't be able to put the lemon curd in. But you can put it on the side to serve with it!

I want to make this in a Bundt pan! Would that work?

I made this cake and it came out very dense. Was it supposed to be that way or moist and fluffy? What did I do wrong? Btw, I nailed your chocolate cake and it’s a favorite!

I usually will sub out the buttermilk with equal parts sour cream in other recipes. Is that something that can be done with yours? I just love the texture sour cream gives. Thanks! Looking forward to trying this beauty!

In reply to Katelyn. Yes you can make it into cupcakes. The only change is that the bake time will be a little less. I'd check them at about 20 minutes.

In reply to cakebycourtney.

Can this be made into cupcakes? I am thinking I could take a bit out of the middle to put the curd… but if it can be made into cupcakes what changes would you make?

Hi Courtney,
I made the cake layers tonight and they smell amazing! They turned out well except there is a crack or a few cracks in the top of the cake. Do you know why this would happen? I’ve made a few of your cakes and I’ve never had that happen before. I did have my ingredients at room temperature before mixing and I baked them at 325 (I split the recipe in half and used (2) 6 inch pans.

Hi! I just wanted to confirm the amount of baking powder for the recipe – is it 3tsp? I tried this recipe once and it came out really dense, but loved the flavor so I want to try it again. Thank you!!

In reply to Julie. I would try flax eggs!

Absolutely delicious! I made this for my friend’s baby’s first birthday and it was a huge hit. Living at altitude, I always get nervous about cakes sinking but all of Courtney’s recipes have been winners!

So excited to try this! Do you have a substitution for eggs in the cake layer? There’s an egg allergy in the family thanks!

Hi Courtney! I am gf and it’s hard to find gf cake flour. What would you suggest if I used regular gf all purpose flour? I know the cake flour is lighter than AP. Please let me know your suggestions if any! Thanks! 🙂

In reply to Rose.

I just made this recipe and the cake was delicious. The lemon flavor really came through in the cake and the texture was soft and “pillowy.” I didn’t make the curd because I didn’t have time, but the cake paired well with the lemon frosting. My family loved this cake!

In reply to Jami. It's important to use room temperature ingredients and to make sure at the beginning, when you're mixing the butter, sugar and eggs, you beat them on medium-high until they are light and fluffy and almost double in volume.
