  1. tballmom REVIEW:

    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!

  3. Kevin REVIEW:

    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!

  4. DGedecke REVIEW:

    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.
