Great recipe and super easy to follow. The outcome was delicious. The only think my husband said was that it lacked the real buttery-ness that pound cakes are supposed to have.

I added some lemon zest into the mix and topped with lemon curd instead of the glaze.

this is a good recipe but too sour and salty. i would probably water down the lemon juice a little and that would also probably make it a little lighter too. it doesn't even near compare to star buck's, but its still good. i probably wouldn't recommend it but its not bad at all.

It was good but very dense. My son loves the lemon pound cake from Starbucks but $3 per slice, once a week adds up! I wanted to make it at home to save some money. I'm not sure how they get it so light at Starbucks, but I guess that is why they charge so much! This was good but if you're looking for Starbucks' lemon pound cake...this isn't it!

just wonderful!!! but i would recommend not using too much lemon or else its tooooo sour.
it was light but dense, but try, somehow, to get the lemon to go to the bottom of the cake aswell. I would definetly recommend this to one of my friends and I would recommend this to you, and don't forget any ingredients, and add them in at the last minute. it does not taste as good as if you added it a head of time. ;D

If you like lemon this is the cake for you. Very easy to make. If you like things a little less tart you might want a light dusting of powder sugar although I did not chose to do this. I also added lemon zest to both the batter and the glaze.

I always like Gale Grand's recipes, but, having made this once before, I made a few changes after reading the reviews. I too added 8 ounces sour cream, an extra 1/2 cup sugar, and the zest of 1 lemon to the batter. I also added 3 Tablespoons poppy seeds. Yummy. As suggested by another review, I also lowered the oven temp to 325 F and baked it for 90 minutes, making this pound cake moist, delicious and a keeper! As for the GLAZE: 1 cup POWDERED sugar + 2 to 3 Tablespoons lemon juice is much better. Thanks for all the hints.

I ADORE anything Lemon and am always looking for a great Lemon Cake. This was not the answer to my quest! I am so very disappointed with the results of this recipe! The cake turned out gummy on the inside and dark, crusty and over cooked on the outside. The flavor was just not there either! Unfortunately, I will never make this cake again, and I still need to be on the lookout for a delicious Lemon Cake Recipe! Any suggestions?
