    I made this for my husband who always talks about his mothers lemon cake. Needless to say, he loved this cake and said it reminded him of his childhood. I made this in a bundt pan instead of 2 loaves. I baked it for about 10 minutes longer and it came out moist and delicious. It was super lemony. I will make this again but next time I will use a regular icing rather than the lemon icing in the recipe(just a preference.

    I have made this cake several times and it always comes out perfect. You can eat one and freeze one!

    Delicious! I did use the syrup but didn't make the glaze, I'm just not a fan of glazes in general, and I loved that the cake wasn't super sweet. Also, added 2 tablespoons of rosemary and baked it as a bundt, for 55 min. The texture was fabulous. Made my cup of coffee even better!

    I've made this several times now. I really enjoy this because it is so lemony. I like a more moist and tart cake so I poked the bottom of the cake also, put some of the glaze in the baking pan, put the cake back in and let the bottom soak up the glaze. Then I did the same on the top. I think more is absorbed this way and doesn't run off onto the bottom of the cookie sheet.

    This is for true lemon lovers! It's like the cinnabon for those who'd rather lemon. I found the cake to be fluffy and perfectly lemony. I'm not sure why some had problems with the cake being dense - for me it was light and fluffy. Melts in your mouth with a perfect tang - thanks Ina!

    Recently made this recipe but didn't include the steps with the lemon syrup or the lemon glaze as it would not have gone with the dessert I was serving it with. This lemon pound cake was excellent! I served it with fresh berries and vanilla sauce and it was to die for. I am NOT a baker, and live in mile high Denver, CO, and it came out perfectly. I prepared it a couple of days in advance of serving just in case it didn't work for me. It froze well. Did have to check it with a toothpick several times, and when it came out clean it was baked perfectly.
    Can't understand the review that said it was a dough ball as she must have under baked it. The texture of this cake is excellent. And to think, I was going to buy a Sarah Lee pound cake on the day this recipe aired
    Thanks Ina! You made me look good.

    OMG!!! This is the best lemon cake and well worth the time, effort and mess. If you enjoy a real lemon flavor this is the cake for you.
