This was a tasty lemon cake, and very moist. I think the lemon glaze helped to make it moist. I did change it up a little. I baked mine in 2 9-inch pans and poked small holes in the baked cakes, so the glaze would permeate. I then frosted with recipe#198332, which was a great compliment. Thanks so much for sharing, spacholl.
