    While planning my sweet 16 party that is coming up in January of 2010. I started looking for cakes. My theme is pirate princess, which the colors are hot pink and black. And when I saw this cake, I almost automatically fell in love! This cake would be perfect for my Sweet 16 Party!!! I LOVE IT!! But, I must say, I would probably make it a little bit more pink. Because the pink that will be used in my party is darker, than the pink that was used in the cake. Maybe a little more drops of color to make the color more spectacular!!!

    Thanks a million,
    Amanda♥

    This couldn't be easier. Agree with other reviewers -- add lots of lemon zest and juice to bring it all together. Don't make frosting ahead.

    I would highly recommend this cake. It is also very easy to make as I am just 10 years old myself. I made it for my mom.Made some fondant and was the perfect gift.

    I was really happy with how this cake turned out for me. Excellent lemon taste (though I did have a lemon and a half of zest! It was a little "heavy," but that is what I've come to expect with home-made cakes. I personally think they are tastier and you can cut smaller pieces to serve more people. I would recommend using parchment paper, mine stuck to the pan despite four and butter! I made up my own frosting recipe because I ran out of powdered sugar: 18 TBSP of butter, 4 cups of powdered sugar, 2 TBSP of lemon juice, and then add milk according to the textue you want for your icing. Mine turned out really light and DELICIOUS!

    I made this cake with cake flour instead of ap flour. The cake itself was light. Don't make this expecting a Duncan Hines or Betty Crocker cake! It's just way better... The icing was REALLY sweet, but what birthday cake icing isn't? After our birthday party, I wrapped the cake in plastic wrap and after a few days it tasted better and better! I will be making this cake again!

    I have now made this cake twice-once for a trail run and again today for my daughter's birthday. The first time I made the cake it was a little more dense then the 2nd but I think it was because the eggs/sour cream were left out longer for room temperture. Also I did not use the frosting she suggested instead made an orange cream cheese frosting recipe from Paula Deen. Every one kept raving on how great this cake was and wants me to make it again for more special occasions!! It took a while to make but it was sure worth it!

    I agree with the other reviews. I followed the directions to a T and it did turn out as dense as a pound cake. It lacked moisture also. I wouldn't make it again.

    This was a very good recipe, but as others have noted, it is more of a pound cake in density.

    I love Ina & her recipes but why does she call for extra-large eggs. Don't most people buy Large size?
