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.

This recipe has the most lemon flavor of any lemon cake I have ever had. It was well worth the time it took to zest and juice the lemons, and all the dishes it created in the making. It's moist, flavorful, and just plain delicious. As Ina says...there is nothing like the flavor of fresh lemons and lemon juice.

These lemon cakes are AMAZING! I bake for a tea room and used this recipe to make mini lemon cakes. I made them in a flower shaped pan and we served them with fresh strawberries and fresh whipped cream. DELICIOUS!! If you follow the recipe and the directions correctly you will have delicious lemon cakes to enjoy!!!!

I love lemon and the flavor of this cake was wonderful but it was way too dense --- It tasted like we were eating a cooked dough ball. I served it to company and was sooo embarrassed. I made a special delicious frosting of homemade lemon custard and whipped cream. I threw the cake away and offered them ice cream. I would never make this again or serve an untested recipe to company. What a dissappointment!

I love how this recipe makes 2 loafs...since a friend of mine has a lemon tree and brings me lemons, and this recipe calls for a lot of them, I was able to give him a loaf and keep one for my family. Best lemon cakes...lots of lemony flavor!
