I had to make this recipe three times. The first time I made it I wasn't realy impressed, I went went out to eat and when I returned the cake was gone, but three of my fiance's friends were looking a little too satisfied to see me. I asked if they knew what happened to the cake they told me it had been eaten and asked if there was any more. So I had to make two more only I used Butter flavor shortening and imitation butter extract plus upped the lemon extract

Tried this recipe today. It was awesome! It was so light and fluffy with that Old fashioned taste that reminds me of my mother and Aunts cooking. It is an easy recipe and the ingredients are usually already in your pantry. Thanks for sharing.

I had a similar problem as some previous reviewers in that there was far too much batter for my tube pan. I was able to make the cake plus a dozen cupcakes from this recipe as written. It was delicious though! I'll probably pull it out of the over close to 40min next time because the outside was a little more cooked than I prefer, but I will b making this cake again and again.

I made this for my mom as a holiday gift. I accidently didn't cook it long enough but it still turned out to be a huge hit. I will definitely be making this again!
