Good cake for decorating, its strong and allows for alot of pushing and pulling but its texture and flavor are not the best.

I love this! Nice, lighter cake that I have made several times. I skip the lemon extract and such, and just use vanilla and it's always fantastic! Last time, I frosted it with buttercream frosting from this site (Rick's Buttercream Frosting). YUM!

Wonderful classic sponge cake but not with lemon extract. Really does not need it with the lemon rind. Makes a great base for so many things, e.g. strawberries, blueberries, trifle or just by itself.

My family LOVED this cake! I made it for the 4th of July as a base for the "Berry Tiramisu Cake" on this site. We loved the cake so much, I'm making it again without the berries and everything on it! The lemon flavor is just right! Makes a light cake great for summer desserts!

Followed the recipe exactly. Cake stuck to the 'ungreased' pan (last time I'll make that mistake). It was more dense than I'd wanted, I was expecting a light, airy cake. I won't make this again.

Fabulous!!!!! I just made this recipe. I did not have cake flour or lemon ingredients so I used all purpose flour 1 cup, 1 tbsp baking powder.For the lemon I used 1 tsp almond extract. I was looking for a sponge cake like the stores have. This is wonderful. I will try it with the lemon next time but they are great. I didnt even need sugar on my strawberries. The other thing I did was cooked them in a muffin pan for 20 min. Then used a small press from pampered chef to push the center down so that they were more like the stores. They are perfect. I will keep this in my recipe box and make again and again. Thank you for the recipe!!!!!

Very simple, easy recipe with consistant results. The lemon flavor is VERY SUBTLE, so I made a quick glaze with lemon juice and powdered sugar to drizzle on cake. Mine was cooked after 45 minutes.

I wasn't terribly pleased with this cake. It was just "ok". It was a bit rubbery to me.

it was ok...the texture was way too thick, it felt like chewing sponge at some points, but the flavor was alright. I used the Lemon Filling on this site and it definitely improved the cake over all. I will try this again with 5 eggs though, and some baking powder.

The texture of this sponge turned out wonderfully. Loved the lemony flavor. I used two tart pans instead of a tube pan, and topped it with a thin layer of whipped cream and fresh fruit for Christmas dinner (having been asked to bring a "healthy" dessert, LOL). Everyone thought it was very "elegant". And best of all, easy!

I made this last night and it was a hit! My family dug in like no tomorrow. I changed tweaked the recipe a bit. Instead of lemon rind and water, I added two-three extra tbps of lemon juice. It had a faint lemony taste. Overall, simple and delcious!

Taste good but the texture was not as light as I expected. Maybe if I used cake flour (not all purpose flour), the cake may be lighter. I baked 45 min as many reviews suggested. turn out nice. For the topping, I put in jelly-liked cover with orange / grapefruit meat. I think it goes well with the sponge. Here is the recipe for topping. Water 300 g Concentrated orange juice 50 g Sugar 100 g Corn starch 20 g Butter 20 g Put everything, except butter, in the sauce pan on miduim/low heat. Stir constantly until thickened around 5-10 min (or until syrup-liked texture). Off from heat and stir in butter. Stir frequently while you lay orange meat on top of cake. Gradually pour/spoon in mixture over the cake. Let it set at room temp or in fridge.

Overall, this was pretty good. It was a nice dessert. However i didn't find it had that 'fresh cake' taste that most cakes normally do. It also wasn't as soft as other sponge cakes I've had. I had wanted something lighter, but instead I got a cake that literally tasted like a sponge. Although I still enjoyed it.

Time consuming, but well worth the work. It made a great anniversary cake for my inlaws. I filled it with raspberry jam after patting with amaretto. I covered it with Butter Cream frosting.
