I used the juice of one lemon instead of the lemon extract and although it came out beautifully, it didn't taste as good as it looked. I think the buttermilk just didn't give it a good aroma, like Sara Lee's or other recipes which didn't use buttermilk. I think I'll stick to the regular pound cake recipe.

I really like this recipe and urge you guys to try it, but I cut down the sugar by a little since I don't like my cakes to be too sweet. Stick to the recipe closely and it will turn out fine. I tried to make it a second time and used 4 bananas instead of 3 and a little too much sour cream. It turned out really soft and wet, and it was just a pity!

My kid doesn't like seafood or anything that comes in shells so it's hard getting him to like this, much less eat it. But I love the scallops prepared this way, just one problem. The drizzling sauce calls for too much liquid - butter and white wine - and it made the crumbs too soggy. I would cut the liquid in half to get a more crispy crumb. Perhaps I did it wrong, anyone had the same problem? It was wonderful otherwise!
