Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

I have made this cake a dozen times and it's always a favorite. I alter the glaze a little by using less lemon juice and adding a little water instead. It's less tart and more sweet.
This is so yummy. I was trying to find a recipe to match a lemon cake that we have eaten at a local restaurant and this is it! It is very moist and very lemony. Awesome!

The cake is delicious! It is dense with an intense lemon flavor! However, the glaze is pretty much very sweet lemon juice. It isn't remotely close to what I would call a glaze but everyone seemed to thoroughly enjoy the cake! Next time, though, I'm going to use a different glaze. Good luck!

The cake was very dense. Cooked in the exact amount of time (which never happens for me!)and was perfectly golden brown. Then came the glaze. It wasn't a glaze really, it was very thin and didn't glaze the cake but rather soaked into it. The glaze was tart. I think I would definetely make the cake again as it was very delicious!! but I'd put a regular type glaze on it.
