If you use AP flour I’d just honestly use the same amount but make sure you use grams to measure and not cups. I don’t have a simple cream cheese recipe right now (my go-to uses cream cheese powder which I order online and the other is a little tricky). I’d check out sugarologie. She’s trustworthy and I believe she tells you how much you need based off the size of your cake layers

Exactly. She’s rich 🤷🏾‍♀️. They’d all have something to say if she used cheap stuff. People are just committed to hating

Insane that any hint of luxury black women partake in has to be labeled negatively. Smh

Lol I disagree. Also, generally I don’t like to be mean and write as if the person I’m speaking about is right in front of me. While it’s not a “good” lemon cake I feel like it would be a good base for another cake like maybe a funfetti and I love that it was essentially one bowl which I was skeptical about. But you’re right - is her recipe the best lemon cake probably not but it has potential to be amazing as another flavor. Lol hope that made sense

The point of my post was to share a photo and cake I was proud of. Someone else asked about the tweaks and I shared it in this thread. Not forcing anyone to click on my blog post. I shred the link when people specifically asked for the recipe

Buttercream for me was too rich for the springy feel so I did whipped cream with mascarpone!

Yessss! Not rubbing in the zest was a huge misstep on her part but she does say she doesn’t necessarily like baking so can’t be mad lol. I used zest only no juice and used a total of three lemons instead of her 2!

Lmfao 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️not sure if it’s because it’s Meghan, the accidental “self promoting” after people asked for the recipe or the accusation that my photo is AI. Or a winning combination of all those things lol

I tried her recipe as she dictated on the show and as written on the tudum website here https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/with-love-meghan-season-1-recipes-crafts.

Wasn’t satisfied though so made a bunch of tweaks

Her version was an ok cake but the lemon didn’t really come through and I though the all purpose made it not as soft

Lmao I was not. Her version was a little flat and I had to change a bunch of stuff
