I made this for the teachers at the school where I work - they thought it was awesome!! I received so many compliments on it - it was refreshing even though it was a pound cake where it was a bit on the heavy side - but you would expect that. I will make this again & again.

This cake is excellent! I added lemon zest and a little extra fresh lemon juice. I also added 1/2 tsp of baking powder to add a little extra height. My cake baked a little faster, maybe it was my new oven not sure but I shaved off about 15 minutes. Happy baking!

Bit too sweet, but YES!- recipe is a winner! Rich, moist, heavenly taste & texture A . I added 1 tsp. DOUBLE-ACTING BAKING POWDER as other reviewers noted. Subbed lemon for fresh squeezed orange juice in glaze. I will cut sugar back to 2 cups next time since glaze provided enough sweetness to cake. Thank you for the recipe!

Thank you for sharing this recipe, I've made it twice, the first time I used 2 1/2 cups of sugar instead of 3 it was great. The second time I used strawberry cream cheese and strawberry extract and 1 tbsp of juice from sweetened frozen strawberries. It was outstanding!! Thank you so much.
