This was a DELICIOUS! cake. I shared it with friends at the lake and everyone loved it. I made a glaze to put over the top. The juice of 2 fresh small lemons, 2 caps full of lemon extract, 2 cups confectioner sugar, 1/3c regular sugar and mixed together than drizzled over top of cake. This will be a keeper! Thanks for sharing the recipe :)

Delicious. Substituted butter for margarine but otherwise followed recipe. My pound cake took 1.5 hours to bake. It rose up about an inch above the rim of my Bundt pan. I let it rest upright for ten minutes before I turned it out, and it shrank a little bit, but was still above the pan rim. When I turned it out, it broke all the way around where it had risen above the rim. It’s still delicious, just not the most beautiful Bundt cake I’ve ever made. :)

WOW! My entire family is in agreement that this was the best cake they've ever tasted. It was perfect! Didn't have lemon extract so i used some rind and 1/4 cup of juice. I also made a glaze out of 1/4 cup lemon juice, 4 tbsp melted butter and 2 cups confectioners sugar. Thanks so much for posting! I'm looking forward to making this often

Best pound cake I have ever had, hands down. It made 2 big loaf sized cakes, and it froze beautifully. Also, I didn't alter from the recipe at all except the cooking time. A little over an hour was sufficient in my oven. I am making this beauty for an art sale this weekend. Thanks for posting this recipe!

YUM says it all! This pound cake is like sunshine and summertime in one bite! It is so light and lemony, tingles the tastebuds! I made one medium loaf cake and 4 small ones from one recipe! DH really loved it and I brought the medium loaf to work and all the co-workers praised it highly! I used butter instead of margarine, but other than that prepared it as directed! This is definitely a winner! Thanks TGirl, RN!
