Never baked a lemon cake before. This was a buttery smooth soft lemon flavored cake. Love it. So glad I picked this one from a google search.

Fabulous. Loaf pan, bundt pan, etc. it doesn't matter - turns out great each time. I make several loaves at a time and freeze some but they never last long.

I followed the recipe exactly and it is AMAZING! Best lemon dessert ever! I cannot see how anyone could possibly have trouble with this cake. I have made it 3 times (just took some out of the oven actually in 2 weeks and it is a HUGE hit! Freezes well too. Every other lemon cake recipe I've ever used has always been found "wanting". This cake is the perfect consistency (almost pound cake like and is the perfect combination of sweet and tart. Make it today!!!
ETA: this cake reaches it yummiest peak the day AFTER you bake it. When you taste it the day you make it it's hard to believe it can get better but it DOES.
Also... I use a wooden skewer to poke the holes in before the syrup and it works really well.

I made mine in 1 bundt pan. After on rack I poked holes in it with a fork and poured the warm glase over it. And I used half & half instead of buttermilk. Turned out great. Moist & very lemony with a crusty exterior.

This was my first time attempting to make a cake from scratch. It was great while it was hot and fresh out of the oven, but when it cooled it became a little dry. The glaze tasted a little powdery. Wasn't for sure if I used the wrong type of flour or if I should have sifted it more than once. Will try any suggestions as I want to make it again for New Years. I followed the recipe step by step. No changes except leaving out the lemon zest.

Holy You-know-what!! This cake is FABULOUS. Yet another work of perfection from Ina! This cake is going to be a hit when I serve it Friday. I hope I can keep my paws off it in the mean time.
