Fabulous! Everyone loved it, including 3 picky kids! The cake was moist and had the perfect texture. I followed previous suggestions and made a glaze with lemon juice, lemon zest, powdered sugar and just a little bit of milk. Will definitely be making again!

This was very good. Lots of lemony flavor, well liked by everyone. Did a glaze of powdered sugar, milk and lemon extract.

Moist and delicious, but did not come out of the pan all the way (top of the cake was still in the pan). I think I should have let it cool longer.

I reduced the oil to the cake mix amount of 1/2C. I think 3/4C of oil is way too much. I added some poppy seeds (personal preference to lemon cakes)but other than that I followed the recipe exactly. When I tested for doness at 35min. The cake FELL. Completely flattened! Thats the first time EVER that has happened to me. So at 35 min. the cake was not done but very brown. I baked another 20 minutes for doneness. Please note that the bake time is 325 but I did a 350 oven for almost an hour. Also, this has an artificial lemon taste and has NO tangy Zip taste of lemons. Needs real lemon juice instead of the carbonated drink that I believe is leaving a bad tingly after taste in my mouth. Sorry but thumbs down to everything about this recipe.

If this could get more than five stars I would give this 10! If I am going to have lemon cake I want it to taste VERY lemony..and this hit the nail on the head. And moist-YYUMMMM! I glazed it with 2tbsp lemon juice, some lemon zest, and about 3/4 cup conf sugar mixed up. I took a poultry brush and after pouring on the top I brushed it all throughout the cake for a nice even glaze. Added a sprinkle of conf sugar too. The only change like everyone else was the cooking time. More like 50 minutes and I turned the oven to 350 around the 40 minute mark. Can't wait to make for others.

I have only three eggs, so I made this cake with three eggs, and made glaze with leftover soda. It came out great. It was light and very moist. I just can't get over the artificial flavor of the lemon cake mix. I wish I could make this cake without the cake mix.

Easy cake to make and tastes very moist. I made the cake according to the recipe but added poppy seeds to the batter. For a glaze I just added 2 tspns lemon extract to a container of Vanilla icing I popped it in the microwave for 30 seconds just to soften it and drizzled half the container over the cake. Thanks for a great recipe!

What a great easy recipe! Everyone who has tasted it loves it. I love that the inside is SO very moist and the outside has a bit of chew to it. Love it!

Very Easy Recipe. Even thou I made a few changes: Since I didn’t have Lemon Cake Mix, I used my same old yellow cake mix, added about 4 tbsp. of lemon juice (and since I thought that wasn’t enough flavor I added 1 freshly squeezed lime I had in hand), added the cup of lemon flavored soda, 1/4 of a cup of milk, and to keep the moisture I added a box of vanilla pudding mix. Ok, It wasn’t THAT lemon flavored cake; but I did the lemon Icing which worked wonders and to give it a twist I toasted 1/2 cup of walnuts and add it to the mix. AND Important!, like I do with all my recipes, I NEVER use oil, I use butter (I cant believe its not butter!®); this time, One stick. So in the end, more than a few changes, but if I had all the ingredients at hand, I would have done it like the recipe specified. But still using my handy dandy butter!

I just made this cake yesterday and it was the first Bundt cake I've ever made. It turned out great and everyone loved it. I used Spray oil that contained flour and sprayed the entire pan really good...I turned the pan upside down on a paper towel to drain any extra oil before adding the batter to the pan (this helps it from getting gummy). This is a great Lemon cake recipe. I also did the Lemon glaze which really brought out the lemon flavor. Its very easy to make and a nice tasting, moist cake. I will make this cake again!

Since I used a yellow cake mix, I added some grated lemon zest and about 1/2 tsp. lemon extract to the batter. Even tho' it was very good, I thought it was a tad too oily and next time would reduce the oil to 1/2 c. I made a glaze of the juice from one lemon, and powdered sugar. Can't wait to try this recipe using a white or yellow cake mix, vanilla pudding, root beer and root beer extract!
