In this video I use steam distillation to extract some lemon essential oil (Limonene), make lemon perfume and bake a lemon cake while really enjoying the smell.

Amateur Chemistry's super duper basic cake recipe:
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of flour
- 3 whole eggs
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 cup of sour cream
- 1 big spoon of butter
- 2 small spoons of baking soda
- Something to flavor the cake (Nothing if you aim for the most basic experience)
Preparation:
Get the eggs (Without the shell of course) into a big bowl followed by sugar, butter, baking soda (Important!!!) and sour cream. Mix them very thoroughly, and when the mixture looks good begin to slowly add the flour in small portions while constantly mixing, now you can also add flavoring if you want. After all this, you should be left with a really thick mixture which you now have to put into a baking tray, and bake at 180 degrees Celsius or 356 degrees Fahrenheit for 45 minutes. After the baking take the cake out of the oven and enjoy!
I wonder if someone actually tries this
