This cake is a winner! I've been making it for years. Followed the recipe exactly except I added 2 tsp vanilla and 2 tsp lemon extract. Beautiful cake that always gets rave reviews. A sugar glaze is an excellent choice instead of powdered sugar.

This was a great cake! I made it for Easter and my whole family loved it! .. its definitely a keeper and I will be passing this recipe along! I glazed the cake with a glaze that consisted of confectioner's sugar, lemon extract, vanilla extract, and milk. I think the glaze is neccesary!

Made this wonderful cake as an Easter dessert this year/2012. I used about 3-4 Tblsp of fresh squeezed lemon juice instead of the lemon extract. I also followed the advice of one review that had said to alternate the flour, lemon juice and "7-Up". I used Sierra Mist soda because thats what i had in the house. Made a lemon glaze using 1 cup Powered Sugar, milk & lemon juice to taste & aquire more of a drizzle consistancy. I will make this cake again & again! YUM!!!

I love this recipe! For those who absolutely love lemon I use a whole bottle of lemon extract...dangerous, I know, but amazing! When ever I make this cake it doesn't last longer then one day.

I am not a baker but these simple ingredients made this an easy cake to make. I left this cake in the oven for a few minutes too long but using the glaze recommended by another user moisten it right back up. Everyone loves this cake and can't stop eating it. I will be making this again for sure.

This is an excellent recipe. It reminds me of my grandmas pound cake. If you want more of a sweetness to it then I guess you can add an icing to it but it really doesn't need it to me. This cake is the most requested of me during any type of gathering and not to mension it is super easy to make.
