This cake is deliciously moist inside with a lightly crisp outside. We like to make it in a bundt pan best.

So easy and so tasty!! I did use a bundt pan (greased and floured) and baked for ~50 minutes. Beautiful! It's a keeper!

I have made this recipe several times and it is excellent each time. It makes about 2 dozen cupcakes. This is one of the most requested recipes at all the gatherings. I like to use only lemon juice and powdered sugar for the glaze. Gives it a great sweet tart bite. Yummo!

I make this recipe all the time! My friends and family all love the cake, and the icing is just as big a hit. Easy and simple to put together, it's great for muffins too. Makes about 2.5 - 3 dozen.

I don't usually like lemon desserts, but this had a very nice mild lemon flavor. It was fast, easy, and very moist. The kids raved about it!
