I made this cake to top with strawberries for strawberry shortcake. I did not have lemon extract so I used tsp of vanilla but that was the only change I made. We ate some the first day after it cooled and it was good but not really and dense as regular pound cake. The next day it had the perfect pound cake texture though! If possible make this a day ahead, it makes a big difference to let it sit a day. It was still great the same day for strawberry shortcake though. It did seem a tad sweet is my only complaint, I may cut the sugar in half next time. I think this recipe would be amazing if made with a lemon cake mix too.

Very good! I do use way less ranch dressing and whatever cheeses I have on hand. I just use enough dressing to moisten everything and I also use a few tbs of olive oil in place of the butter. I just cannot get over the thought of using a whole bottle of unhealthy dressing on top of a lot of butter. My family loves it with the changes I made.

Love these! I make them all the time adding a cup of mini semi sweet chocolate chips. Duncan hines mix makes a lighter more cake like muffin and puffs up nicer.
