Love from Italy! An Irish person saying Italian words is all I needed in my life, I jus didn't know yet 💖 The cake looks fantastic, I love simple/natural looking cakes, especially in summer 😍
Congrats at your 5 yr. anniversary. I feel like I am dating myself when I say I've been watching since before you guys got married...now you have two kids! All the very best and many happy returns.
This reminds me of the rum cake I always make in the summer - boozy and refreshing. I will be making it this week and make use of the limoncello we got from Ravello for our wedding. Please add this recipe onto your next cookbook. Happy 5th Wedding Anniversary Donal and Sofie (Wood). Auguri!
Honestly you're so right. Everyone is constantly slobbering over these instagram cakes, but most of them taste basic. it's really cool that you showed a cake that isn't as pretty or instagram photo ready, but probably tastes great.
This is the first time I've used Polenta and it's the most delicious cake. I highly recommend making this. I think I will try it with orange juice next time.
What a delightfully relatable video. I have to make this as soon as the weather warms up. Thank you for the inspiration. I will be thinking of Italy whilst making this.
This cake made me think of my sister, who loves making "naked cakes" with lovely flavors. Happy 5th anniversary to Donal and Sofie, and thank goodness for the generally cool climate of Ireland softening the blow of the summer heat for Noah and Oliver.
Yum looks delicious i am making this soon will make this with few subs drooling over my samsung galaxy note 8 love your recipes making me hungry Thanks Ramya
Very nice recipie Donal! I like your cake and i say me wen i didn't like the lemon! The same cake can we make with orange? Can you make us easy ice cream, ice cream cake or torte and ice cream cones or ice cream cups? Congratulations for you wedding! 🎉🎊 Have a nice day! 👍👏🍴
that looks delicious! tried the orange version before, but lemon sounds just as delicious. Happy anniversary to you both. I have the feeling that, regardless of the honeymoon/parenting/summer/Italy... you just fancied the limoncello that's all LOL and the proof is in that symbolic "measuring" spoon :) You work hard, well deserved the treat! I plan to follow your example (and same measuring technique!)
I would like to make this cake one day before, but can I also put the syrup on the day before or should I pour it over the cake the same day I serve it, if someone can advise me of the best method that would be a great help to me. I’ve also heard it’s best to pour the syrup while the cake is still warm?
Happy anniversary Donal and sofie . This cake looks like a summer gift in this crazy time . I've a question though , Can we add any lemon boozy drink if we don't have limoncello?
I made this last year for a dessert auction and it got top dollars. The people who won it absolutely loved it, so making it again for this years fundraiser. I didn't get to taste in though. Stioll not sure about my question as nobody responded.
Use some other nut if you can, like hazelnuts or macadamia or cashews, anything you might like. If you're generally allergic to nuts I don't think there's anything to substitute..
Warm cake will absorb the syrup well but I'm sure cold will be fine. My icing sugar disappeared when warm so perhaps leave that till cake is cold. Enjoy.
Dear Chef, love all your videos. I just wanted to ask a question. I want to make your carrot cake recipe. Can I substitute rapeseed oil with canola oil? Again love your content. MOLLY from Malaysia
Isn't that the same thing: canola oil and rapeseed oil? Here in Ireland we call it rapeseed oil and I know in America they call it canola oil. Donal can correct me if I'm wrong. Carrot cake - good choice :) I'm sure it will be delicious :)
