Easy to make, and delicious! I read the reviews before trying the recipe, and so I subsituted 2T of lemon juice for 2T of the water. I topped the cake with a simple glaze that I made from lemon juice and confectioner's sugar, and put sliced strawberries in the center for presentation - they add a great flavor along with the cake too! I will use this recipe over and over again!

This is the exact recipe from the side of the Duncan Hines lemon cake mix box, which is good. To kick it up a notch and make it more like a true pound cake, substitute the water for milk. Even skim milk is fine. I also add the zest of a lemon to the batter when I've got one in the house. I dust mine with powdered sugar after it has cooled. Quick, easy, inexpensive, pretty, and people like it.

This was an extremely moist and easy cake to make. I added some lemon extract for extra flavor. Not as dense as a typical pound cake but wonderful anyway.

We loved this cake. I did not get fancy with frosting. I used the Poor Man's Frosting recipe from this site. This cake was moist and delicious! We give it 5 stars! This will be added to our favorite's list. Thanks for sharing.

The only reason why this is getting a four instead of a five is because I didn't think that the cake was not dense enough to be labeled as a pound cake, however, the cake was moist, lemon tasting without being tart, and overall very good.

Very moist and great flavor. I added a coulple Tbsp of lemon juice to the water. The lemon was not overbearing nor bland, just perfect. I put a glaze made out of powder sugar and lemon juice on the cake while it was still warm. Very easy directions to follow, my nine year old son made most of it!

This is a healthier version of a pound cake. Very moist. My family loves it. I send one to a cake auction at the local university and it's the bigeest seller!

I really liked this cake, but my 14yr old son loved it. Very lemony and moist. I think I'll try a lemon glaze over it next time

My grandmother used a recipe similar to this. She substituted two Tablespoons of lemon juice for 2 T. of water and then drizzled a lemon juice and powdered sugar glaze on top of it. Yummy.

I was pleasantly surprised by this cake. Added lemon zest the second time around for added lemon flavor. Had a co-worker tell me it tasted like her grandmother's pound cake. Not too heavy, not too light. Satisfying and extremely easy, not to mention quick.

I was trying to duplicate an incredibly moist lemon cake I had gotten at a bake sale, but this one was pretty mediocre - not much different than making the lemon cake mix as directed.

I have tried recipes with cake mixes before. They are easy and usually pretty good, but this cake was just so, so. It did taste good, but it was nothing special, and I probably won't make it again.

Surprisingly enough with the lemon cake mix and lemon pudding, this cake did not have the lemon flavor I was looking for nor was it dense like pound cake. It was okay, nothing special, and I probably won't make it again.
