  1. Hi Claire! My mum would always make a nut loaf cake (made with ground almonds, hazelnuts etc) as an after school snack, simple and similar to this. She has lost the recipe and attempts to recreate have failed us so far. Would love your take on it. ❤️❤️

  2. Hey, Claire, never apologize for living life in its fullest sounds: children, cats, chickens, chainsaws, construction. We ♥ chaotic good cacophony. 'Tis the music of love; play on! (yeah, totally stole that from some famous poet 🤭)

  3. Nothing more comforting than Claire making a simple/not simple pound cake. I made an orange cake last weekend and knew to rub the orange peel into the sugar bc I’ve watched Claire do it dozens of times (the recipe just called for it to be thrown into the mix, gasp!). Also, Claire, I make your almond poppyseed cake from Dessert Person every Christmas for my family holiday gathering. It’s become a tradition and a family favorite.

  4. Just made this cake! I'm normally a lemon dessert hater, so believe me when I say this was SO perfect and delicious! I tried it when the cake was still slightly warm so the glaze was deliciously syrupy in the middle & crisp on top. Beautifully citrusy but not perfumy, and the citrus-rubbed sugar is always a brilliant way to make the bright fruity flavors shine. Typically my issue with lemon flavored desserts is that the lemon flavor gets buried under the dairy and vanilla, so it comes as an unwelcome aftertaste. This cake is a lemony celebration. I took a bite and said "I need to have this in my house all the time." Thank you Claire!!

  5. I would love to see your version of a sugar encrusted rum cake. This rum-favored pound cake is a core memory from my childhood that I would love to recreate, but I don’t have any way to get that particular recipe. The sugar crust was so satisfying. I trust you would do the rum cake justice!

  6. hearing claire go "you really want a stand mixer" when i've grown up making pound cake my whole life beating the butter and sugar by hand feels a little hurtful. i mean it's true, it's been much easier ever since i got a stand mixer. but still.

  7. I really loved how Claire talks about the chemical reactions and explains how ingredients and processes work with each other. it's always a delight to learn more and this ep delved so much into the technical stuff, I loved it. happy new year, Claire and team! 💖

  8. normally the sound mixing on your videos is really good, and I don't really hear the baby, but as someone with sensory issues hearing the background is really frustrating. it definitely makes it hard to get through this video.
