"This moist, airy cake was my dad's favorite. My mom revamped the original recipe to include lemons. I'm not much of a baker, so I don't make it very often. But it is well worth the efffort." —Trisha Kammers, Clarkston, Washington

This was delicious! The cake was subtle while the icing packed a punch. My family loved it. I will definately make it again.

I made this dessert for our family's Easter dinner. It was gone in seconds. A huge hit! Served with strawberry-rhubarb compote. Will definitely make again.

This is my absolute favorite cake! I love most things lemon and this is a great recipe. I just add a bit more lemon juice to the frosting to make it extra strong.

This may be an airy cake, but it also seemed heavy - did not like the texture - don't know if I did something wrong, but thought I followed all the directions. There has to be a better lemon cake recipe out there -- I'll keep looking

I guess I bake too much, this cake was one of the worst tasting I have ever made. The cake is airy allright...and very bland...like something you would buy prepackaged in a very cheap food store. I couldn't even finish the first piece and threw the rest away. For me, this was a waste of good lemons.

This cake was just ok to me. I didn't find it to be airy, it seemed very dense to me.

It is a wonderful light and airey cake. The lemon taste is great. It was best the first day but still good the second day. Too many calories though but very good.
