I made this recipe twice,and both time everyone raved about it. The next time I make it, I will not use the almonds, because my grandson has nut allergies.

I was dissapointed in this recipe. It didn't have the delicious lemon flavor that I was craving and it was very heavy. I made it for a friend;s birthday cake and ended up throwing over half away.

I found that this required 55 minutes to bake at 350, also added fresh lemon zest to the batter and substituted brown sugar for the white in the crumb topping. Served warm with Vanilla Bean ice cream. Yum!

I made this for my eight co-workers and brought home an empty dish!

This recipe was so easy! The end result was a huge hit with everyone at the table, even the picky eaters! I will definitely make this cake again.

My family and I enjoyed this cake. I can never leave a recipe alone. I used my homemade lemon curd, make with real lemons, then added the zest to the topping. I also followed suggestions to reduce the flour and bake longer. It came out perfect, with a tart lemon taste.

I was a little disappointed in this cake. First, I didn't like the texture of the bottom layer. I cut the amount of topping in half as other suggested, but I still think that the cake and topping didn't let the tangy lemon layer come through enough. I am deleting this cake from my recipe box. :(

I made this for a family gathering and everyone enjoyed it. I followed the recipe as is, except I reduced the flour in the topping by half based on other reviews. This is a good, not too sweet cake. I served it with whipped cream topping but vanilla ice cream would also be great. Will make this one again.

It was ok, I thought the texture was a little off. Not light and airy like it suggested.

This is a good tasting crumb cake. It came out perfect. I did cook it about 5 minutes longer than it called for.
