The cake was moist but I think I'll add another teaspoon of extract next time. I also had a hard time getting the glaze to go into the cake. Might try using a fork to poke holes next time. I saved the extra glaze and spooned it over each slice as I served it. Great taste! Thanks

Soft and velvety, It was a bit hit after dinner last night

I don’t get the rave reviews; I found this recipe to be DRY and a little week on lemon flavor. The glaze seemed to end up more on the wax paper below the cake than absorbing into it. I made a few adjustments that made this recipe MUCH better. For the cake ingredients, I added 8oz sour cream, lemon zest, and doubled the lemon extract. I also changed the process for applying the glaze so that most of it ended up in the cake. Once the cake cooled, I poked holes with a fork and put it back into the cake pan. I then put about half the glaze onto the cake and it soaked into the cake that way. After it had time to absorb completely, I turned it out onto the cooling rack and SLOWLY applied to the rest of the cake. This made a HUGE difference in the taste of the cake. Took it from two stars to four.

This is one great cake! And quite easy too. Here are the few changes I made: I used a lemon cake mix and I added the zest of one lemon. That's really it. Otherwise I followed the recipe. My cake was completely cooked the first time I tested it, right at 40 minutes, which kind of surprised me. I had sprayed my bundt pan with Baker's Secret which is a combination of oil and flour, so I had no trouble at all getting the cake out of the pan. I made the glaze as directed, using freshly squeezed lemon juice, poked the cake all over with a couple of toothpicks, then started spooning the glaze over the cake. After it had a good coating, I switched to a brush because that seemed to help it soak in better. Also, I did put the cake on a rack with waxed paper under it, but placed a spatula on either side under the cake. Then I had no problem lifting it to a platter when I was done. My son and husband each had 2 pieces! Very good and lemony!!Thanks!!!

This cake is delicious. It is so moist. I have made this several times and it always turns out great. I do not glaze the cake on the wire rack but directly on the platter because it is very difficult to get it off the rack in one piece after you pour the glaze over it. I love this lemon cake recipe.

this is the cake that has everybody talking. i have to bake this cake at least twice a week for somebody. it is very very moist and melts in your mouth. you don't have to chew the cake it at all and once the cake is cut, it's all over. you will want to scrap the cake plate. it is a big hit with my family, friends and i also sell this cake.

Superb! Thank you for submitting this recipe!
