i have made this cake many times...it is an amazing cake and the icing was amazing too...my only issue is that if i make the cake in the morning for a party in the afternoon or that evening, the cake tends to be dry. i have noticed though that the same cake, a day or two later, its always 200 times better. so if you are going to make this cake for a birthday party, make it a day or two in advance. the cake does taste amazingly delicious.

Delicious! Dense so it makes a great stacking cake but also very moist and rich. I haven't even made the frosting yet or cut into the cake. I ate a few of the trimmings from when I evened it up for stacking and they have the perect amount of lemon flavor (I used a large lemon. A few reviews had said it was dry so I wasn't sure what to expect but they obviously just did something wrong or the environment is really dry because this is one of the moistest homemade cakes I've ever made. Reminds me of a lemony version of the fourth of july flag cake from Ina Garten. The woman knows her cake!

I just made the frosting. I was trying to use up box cake mix.I honestly think it was the best frosting I've ever had. I have even cut the recipe in half and it still works beautifully.

This was the worst recipe I have even encountered. I was trying to make a quick bday cake for my niece. I added the lemon to the frosting as stated earlier. The cake tastes fine. The frosting is horrific. I cannot take the cake over it is so bad. I can't even fix the frosting. Pick another recipe

It had good flavor but it was super dense and very heavy. It would be better if it was lighter. However, it stacks beautifully and was great to decorate.

Very heavy, more like a pound cake, tasted great, but too dense... Would have been better with fresh strawberries and whipped cream, like a shortcake.

My main problem, which I forgot about when I made this cake three years ago, is that is seems there is too much batter! Last time, and today, the batter just overflowed and burned on the bottom of the stove and made a giant mess. I was sure I filled the pans halfway only. I'll have to make this a second time and fill less than halfway...that's what I did three years ago. This recipe needs to be adjusted.

I have made the cake before and to be honest it is difficult to come across a good homemade cake recipe. It was just okay. As for the icing, this is a traditional butter cream recipe and I need a little more flavor so I add more vanilla and a tad more milk for a creamer icing. The great part about this icing recipe is you can play with it without ruining it.
