Well, I feel a little bad giving this a 4 star review since I didn't make the cake exactly as Ina recommends. I made it without the glaze based on lots of the other reviews, and in hindsight I probably would have preferred it with the glaze (although my trainer would be happy I skipped it since it adds a million calories:. As I made it, the cake was very moist and flavorful, but not quite as lemony as I would have preferred. Still a really good recipe though. I liked that it used yogurt instead of butter. I'll definitely make this again and may even mix it up with blueberries and make some muffins.

Overall, it was a good recipe. I used Meyer lemons instead of regular lemons and they turned out great! I also easily doubled the recipe to make two loaves. However, mine took more like 75 min. to bake (yes, I have an oven thermometer. I also noted that the lemon syrup didn't soak into the entire cake, just the top. I think next time I will do what others have suggested and poke holes with a skewer, then leave the loaves in the pans and pour the sugar syrup on top. This way the syrup will soak through the cakes much more evenly. They were delicious no matter what...great crumb, great density, great sweetness/tartness.

Wonderful light, very moist dessert, topped with fresh fruit and vanilla bean ice cream. Everyone loved this, including my teens! Made three loaves yesterday, two for bbq's this weekend and my oldest daughter and her husband smelled the loaf as the walked in....now one less loaf.

this is a super easy cake to make. I was distracted and got off track; added ALL the sugar instead of just one cup. Then I added the oil with all the wet ingrediants because I had not noted where to add when I wrote down the recipe. And it all worked! go figure. And yes, very yummy.

Next time I will poke holes in the cake and then pour the lemon sugar over the warm cake. Skip the glaze and go with berries.

this was very easy to make. i made it with greek lemon yogurt.
it helps the sugar/lemon to penetrate if you stab little punctures
with a tester or toothpick while the cake is slightly warm.
i skipped the glaze and served the slices of fruit (blue berry,
strawberry or black berry.

A delicious crowd pleaser! I followed the recipe exactly (minus a few minutes in the oven and everything came out perfectly. The only thing I'd add to the directions is to remember to sift the confectioner's sugar before mixing it with the lemon juice for the glaze. I forgot to do this and had a few lumps in my glaze.

I am such a fan of poundcake and i'm always looking for a good receipe. This cake is very easy to make. Only critizism i would make is that it was a bit to "Lemony" for my taste. I will certainly make it again but will cut the amount of lemon in the receipe. Also made Ina's blueberry sauce and poured it on the plate for presentation, it looked and tasted amazing! Ina, love your receipes!

I needed to use up my yogurt before it expired, and came across this recipe. I just had a slice of the lemon yogurt cake, and it was great!

Similar to what other reviewers did, I used non-fat yogurt and I cut back the sugar in the cake to 1/2 cup. I didn't have XL eggs either and just used 3 large eggs--I separated the egg whites from the yolks and whisked until it was really foamy, then added it to the rest of the liquids.

I don't know if separating the egg whites helped, because I mixed the entire batter a lot before baking. I also let my lemon-sugar mixture boil a bit, so the mixture ended up very syrupy and couldn't really soak into the cake.

I left out the glaze, and it was definitely not necessary--the cake with the lemon-sugar mixture was already sweet enough. If I make this again, I would probably even leave out the lemon-sugar mixture. The cake alone was sweet, lemon and spongy--it is delicious on its own!

Super yummy and simple to make. Used a little more lemon juice than called for the lemon juice/sugar syrup, and kept repouring what fell on the sides to make sure it was all absorbed. Very lemony, and moist. Didnt make the glaze, still excellent.
