Wonderful! The only thing for me was the timeframe in the oven. Outer cake began to burn before the hour and fifteen minutes were up.

I made this for my husband's birthday. He LOVED it and so did everyone else! I'm trying it in two loaf pans right now. Does anyone else think it tastes like Starbucks lemon loaf? Actually, I think it's better! This one is definitely a keeper!

My daughter and I took this on as a project. The cooking time was off a little. The top of the cake was hard. The instructions for the icing was not specific enough. It just says to add and frost. It was not icing. So I melted the butter and added 1 cup of sugar instead of 3 cups. Then I added a few tablespoon of water. Boom!!! There it is. Delicious

 Jaime (United States) replies:
Cook time does vary and no instructions for icing. Sharon, that's what I did only I used 7-up instead of water... next time I will bake at 325°F instead of 350°F and will turn the oven off at 50 minutes, hopefully that will get a good browning and a mostly done cake. Thanks for the recipe, it was fun baking.
