    I had a bunch of lemons and needed to use them up. I have never made a pound cake before and found this to be very lemony and wonderful! I added some blueberries dusted in flour but they went to the bottom of the bread. I might try that part again. I loved the added moistness that came with the glaze and next time might flip[ it over and add some to the bottom of the cake so make it even more moist. I will be making this cake again this weekend for both a brunch and an Easter party I am going to!

    I made this cake for dinner with my soon-to-be inlaws. The cake was so easy to make. However, I only had it in the oven for 52 minutes and it was done. I also made a homemade raspberry sauce with framboise liquor to go on top in addition to the lemon glaze. I thought the cake needed another dimension of flavor. I didn't want it to be overpowered with lemon as we had lemon pasta chicken for dinner. The raspberry sauce (which can be found on this site was a great addition to this cake! I'm very pleased with the finished product.

    I have a Myers Lemon Tree and it put out between 3 and 4 hundred lemons this year. I was on the lookout for lemon use recipes. A friend gave me some lemon pound cake which I made and enjoyed but I lost the recipe. I went on line to the Food Network and down loaded Gale Band's Lemon Pound Cake in November of 2004. The tree has produced more and more lemons so I take them to Bunco and Reading Club. I have handed out the cake alsobecause people are asking me for the recipe and I'm proud to pass it along.

    I made this lemon pound cake for a family function and it was a HIT!!! It was so easy to make and the glaze that seeps into the gaze made the pound cake very moist and delicious!!!

    I will definintly make this again and have even had requests for upcoming social events to make it. Thank you for another great recipe to add to my collection!!!

    I baked this cake tonight and only had it in the oven for 60 minutes instead of the recommended 65-75. The cake was still a bit overdone and not as moist as a good ol' pound cake should be. The lemon flavor was good. To make up for the dryness I ate it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. :

    This recipe was so well received by my family, it was requested to be baked again in the same week! Initially, I served it with fresh strawberries, everyone said it was even better alone. My husband discovered he liked it for breakfast with cantelope! I have saved this in my recipe file!

    I love lemon and this was a great recipe! Very easy and quick to prepare. Loved the glaze, someone who doesn't like lemon as much could do without. The texture was like silk! Will definitely make again!

    Cake was okay, not great. Not enough lemmon flavor for me...the only thing that saved it was I made a glaze of powdered sugar and lemon juice which gave it more of a lemon taste.

    This recipe was terrible. I followed the directions exactly and it came out tasting like cornbread with a hint of lemon! I ended up tossing out!
