Excellent! Very moist and the soda gives it a kick. Also a very easy cake to make considering the great taste. I glazed it with fresh lemon juice sugar and powdered sugar.

Quick, easy and satisfying. I added a little lemon zest to the recipe and sprinkled with confectioners sugar. A lemon glaze would kick this up a notch. I will definitely keep the ingredients in my pantry for this one.

I love anything lemon and this cake is included. Yummy and easy. I was trying to find something different to do with a lemon cake mix and this was easy and I had all of the ingredients on hand. I'm sure I'll be making it again. Thanks for putting it on the website.

I can't even count how many times I've made this cake! It's always a hit and I'm always asked for the recipe. It's an extremely moist, flavorful cake and it smells amazing when it's cooking. I add some lemon zest (yellow peel from a fresh lemon) to the glaze for a little extra kick and presentation. Thank you for sharing this Phyllis!

Lemon desserts are my favorite. I really enjoyed this cake. Moist, tart, sweet. Made it again for a friend's birthday. A big hit. I baked it without modifications.

I am so glad I tried this recipe! At first I was hesitant, because the addition of soda sounded strange, but I had all the ingredients on hand, so figured I might as well try. It was SO moist and lemony! I decided not to try a glaze, and I'm glad I didn't. It was perfect as is. I think the glaze would have made it too sweet and sticky, but that's just my own personal taste. I will definitely be making this again.

Wow! This cake is wonderful! I have never made a bundt cake before and was a bit scared it wouldn't come out of the pan but it did *very* easily. I just used cooking spray rather than greasing and flouring, and then right before the cake was done I put a dishrag wet with hot water on the counter and put the cake right on that from the oven for 10 seconds. Then I carefully inverted it onto a baking rack and it came right out, no problem at all. To boost the lemon flavor I also added a little packet of lemon koolaid (just the flavoring, no sugar added) that had been sitting in my cupboards and wasn't going to be used, and that really made the cake *very* lemon-y. I also used Fresca (a grapefruit flavored soda) instead of lemon-lime and it was great- I think any citrus-y drink would work, including lemonaid or even Mountain Dew. Very delicious cake- I'm sure I will make it often.

This was very easy to make. It's nice because the ingredients are things that are convienent to have on hand. I added a lemon glaze on the top for extra sweetness.

I have tried this recipe twice with excellent results both times! I use a William-Sonoma "Rose" bundt pan- cooking time increases to 45 minutes. Sierra Mist works well for the lemon-lime soda. I also cheat with drizzled microwaved canned lemon frosting. Strawberries and a dab of whip cream add a nice touch, too. Always moist and delicious!

Excellent cake! Everyone who had it requested the recipe. I served it with whipped cream and fresh strawberries, and it was fabulous! I will be making it again this week, and will add a little lemon zest to make it a bit more lemony.

VERY easy and good recipe. Have made this twice in two weeks. It is much more moist and tastier a day or two later...also I followed the advise of another reviewer and melted some canned lemon frosting in a microwave for the lemon glaze and nobody knew it. This is an excellent recipe!!

Wow-- what can I say, but that this cake is excellent! Great tasting and SO moist, it almost melts in your mouth! For anyone who loves lemon cake, this is it... I followed the directions exactly, but next time I will add some grated lemon zest for a tangy twist! Also, I made a powdered sugar glaze with vanilla and water and drizzled it over the top. My whole family loved it! I will be making this one again, and again.. I would highly recommend it!

Hubby loved this one; everyone including my picky daughter said this was the best lemon cake they've tasted. Added lemon extract to icing to give a more lemony taste to the icing. Great cake!

Just made this cake for an Easter brunch. It was an absolute sensation. Baked it for 50 minutes, not the suggested 35 and it was perfect. Decorated with fresh strawberries on top and in the middle. It was simple, delicious and everyone wanted the recipe. Personally, didn't think it needed a glaze as other suggested. It was yummy! Thanks for sharing the recipe Phyllis!

Excellent cake! Very moist and light. I only had to bake it between 35 - 40 minutes. (I've read that bake time using a Bundt pan depends on the color of the pan; white-finish, light or dark metal.) I used a "Cheater's Glaze": melt a half can of lemon frosting in the microwave for 30 seconds and then using a teaspoon drizzle over the cake. A garnish of fresh raspberries in the center of the cake looks great.

Very easy to make and very moist! Adding a lemon glaze gives it an extra kick of lemon that I think it needs to make it special. I served it with a dollop of whipped cream and fresh raspberries...yum!

This makes a nice lemony cake that is moist but yet not so dense and heavy as some of the lemon bundt cake recipes I've tried. I added a nice lemon glaze after the cake had cooled. Delicous!!!
