This is a great pound cake recipe! I sometimes exchange the lemon extract for strawberry for a little different taste.

This cake has subtle flavors. You can tell what's in in but none of the flavors overpowers the others. It's not super sweet. Like other pound cakes, it's heavy and very dense. I baked it according to the directions and it came out beautifully.

Excellent recipe!!! Family (especially a cousin) devoured it. I love the added lemon flavoring which makes this recipe slightly different than my Mother's. The cake was moist with a nice-colored crust-I used a tube pan. Tip: Use fine cake flour instead of regular all-purpose flour.

This is DELICIOUS! This replaces my recipe that I had been using forever. I just added a bit more lemon extract and zest for my taste.

This cake is DELICIOUS! Everyone raved about it! We used it, cubed up, for dipping in a chocolate fountain.
