There's something amiss with this recipe. I made this to the T following the recipe instructions; I had no difficulties doing so. However, something is wrong with either the temperature or the baking time. My oven is set properly but this is the second time I've had issues with this cake. I baked it on convection, but started checking at 40 minutes. The top was already golden brown but the inside of the cake was still liquid. At 50 minutes, the top was starting to burn and the insides were still liquid. I obviously had to throw out the cake, which is a shame because of the cost to get the flour and butter. I really want to have this cake turn out, since the little bits I tasted were SO good. I'm not sure what the issue is - I will try one more time, but use all purpose flour instead of cake flour and see if it makes a difference. I really want to give this recipe 5 stars, but I can't because of persisting issues. It looks like this recipe works for some and doesn't for others. :(

I had no problems with this recipe. I always check before the prescribed time so mine came out just fine. I did add a little more lemon zest and it was delicious. Great recipe!

This is crazy how everyone had such completely different results with this cake! I followed the recipe exactly, and baked at 350 for 50 minutes. The outside was a little dark but the inside was perfect. If I make again I will start checking at about 40 minutes to make sure it isn't overdone. It did stick to the bottom of my loaf pan but I may not have greased it well enough. I LOVED the flavor of this cake, one of the best I've ever tasted. Served it with macerated strawberries and whipped cream and everyone loved it!

I agree. I made this cake on April 27. Cook at 350 for 55 minutes and it was too brown on the outside and not cook in the center. Remaining cake was dry. Although it did have a nice armoa.

Having read the other reviews, I am glad I am not the only one who followed the recipe exactly and ended up with a dry, crumbly cake. I almost choked on it. Was raw on the inside at 50 minutes. Put it back for 10 more minutes. Did I over bake? Based on what I read, the recipe is flawed .... Cake going in garbage.

Pleasing, mild cake. I was expecting the honey to shine through more.
This is a good cake to serve with coffee, and serve it with ice cream to give it a little moisture.

Followed directions to the letter. End result, dry coarse texture. Recommended cook times had to be extended cautiously as batter was far from cooked but exterior started to brown too quickly. Nice aroma,though.

I just loved this pound cake. The flavors just came together and had my whole house smelling like a bakery. The taste is just bursting with every bite.

Delicious! Just made this yesterday afternoon. I used a heaping teaspoon of lemon zest and when it was done I poured a vanilla glaze over it and served it with sliced strawberries. Perfect warm weather dessert.
